Public commenter urges removal of political pictures, criticizes national leaders
Summary
During public comment, Julie urged removing political pictures she called divisive and criticized national leaders’ treatment of immigrants and the Constitution, and asked the board to take down the display.
A member of the public urged the Hardin County Board to remove political pictures from the meeting room and criticized national leaders during a lengthy public comment period.
Julie, who spoke during the public-comment portion, said the pictures foster division and called the room "for community building, not community division." She criticized what she described as recent national actions that she said undermine due process. "He basically put our Constitution into the shredder," Julie said, referring to national leadership in her remarks, and later urged the board to take the pictures down.
Julie also noted a multi-week discussion on the Declaration of Independence and expressed disappointment that Daryl Meyer was not present to deliver a planned closing statement.
No board action to remove the pictures was recorded in the transcript; the comment concluded and the meeting proceeded to final motions.
