Below is a letter from Boulder city manager to Seth Brigham form anoying city council and staff; followed by a letter from Brigham followed by and article from Boulder channel 1.  The question is : Is a citizen allowed to go to the city building and give the staff and council a raft of grief or can you be arrested for it. ??

Seth Brigham “m-fs” #Boulder city council again: Police called. No arrests

It’s true, I blew my “cool” when I saw rules of conduct posted despite the fact the City Council has never agreed upon any set of “decorum rules.”

I interrupted an informal meeting, being in the moment, upset by the actions of City Staff, City Management, City Council?  IT WAS IN THE LOBBY< A PUBLIC PLACE.

Who decided to forgo the public process, public comment, as was promised on this supposed future Agenda item??? And, place a set of rules for the public up on the wall in Council chambers where we wait to speak???

And, what about the rules for Council, I didn’t see anything posted?

One of the rules posted was “no personal attacks,” which is an unconstitutional provision, clearly illegal, and what started all this in the first place, when criticism of council members was somehow perceived as a “personal attack.”

The point is, the rules are not there to protect city officials and/or residents, they are posted in an attempt to control the speech and intimidate the speaker, manipulate the “message.”

I was upset and stated emphatically to the Council, who feigned ignorance. My apology for the short interruption in your interview, but, I perceive council as residents, not nobility!

INVESTIGATION, start looking down your own toilet bowl!! Or better yet, hire another consultant!!!

Take your letter, and, as one politician said to his own party, SHOVE IT!
