We are still way into crazy country with this latest "event."  Kidd may be saying she'll try to be nicer in future, but she is also saying she acted correctly when she unilaterally closed the Feb 2 meeting without a vote.

"Kidd said she wanted “to take this opportunity to report to the council” that she ran the Feb. 2 meeting according to state law, Robert’s Rules of Order, the council rules of procedure and Association of Washington Cities guidelines."  

See?  She still says she acted properly.  Which means she still doesn't get it.  As I recall, the ethics committee found that Kidd's actions not only stepped on the First Amendment, but also the WA Open Meetings Act.  And the way she adjourned the meeting fits into Roberts Rules only because, to her, being criticized to her face is a public danger equivalent to a fire in the County building.

Please, Council, show a little respect for the ethics committee  --   just admonish this poor clueless public employee.
