Resident criticizes Commissioner Pittman for prior conduct at public meeting
Summary
At informal public comment, Concord resident Cynthia Sinclair accused Commissioner Larry Pittman of shouting at a member of the public and using the phrase "you've said enough, boy," calling the behavior disrespectful and unbecoming of an elected official.
Cynthia Sinclair, a lifelong Concord resident, used her three minutes during informal public comment to criticize Commissioner Larry Pittman for remarks she said he made at a previous meeting. Sinclair described the exchange as hostile and said the ending of the prior speech included the words, “you've said enough, boy,” which she called “disrespectful, inappropriate, and unbecoming of an elected official.”
Sinclair said the conduct reflected poorly on Cabarrus County and urged voters to consider alternative candidates in November. She framed her remarks around expectations of civility: elected officials should remain composed, neutral and professional even when tensions run high. The board did not take formal action in response to the comment during the meeting.
