Trustee Steve praises Mayor Jason’s openness as Dolton meeting closes
Summary
Trustee Steve praised Mayor Jason for encouraging open discussion and urged residents to call the mayor with concerns; a meeting participant later said the mayor answers 'about a 98%'' of inquiries. The board adjourned with a reminder about an upcoming "tea with the trustees."
Trustee Steve praised Mayor Jason for promoting open discussion and cooperation during closing remarks at a Dolton Board of Trustees meeting, urging residents to call the mayor directly with complaints or questions.
"I wanna give our mayor some props," Steve said, adding that Jason "doesn't exclude nobody" and is "open to conversations," and asking the room to give the mayor another round of applause.
The comments were followed by a brief response from the mayor who thanked "trustee Steve" for the remarks. A meeting participant then added, "he has about a 98% answer rate," and said the mayor had been modest during a court session; the participant also joked that the mayor should have a law license and said he at one point thought the mayor was the village attorney. Those statements were presented as the participant's observations and were not verified during the meeting.
The mayor closed the session with a brief blessing and an announcement: "We'll see you at the next tea with the trustees." No motions, votes, or formal actions were recorded in the provided transcript.
The record gives only first names in places: the mayor was identified in the discussion as "Jason"; no surname for the mayor was provided in the transcript.
