"Emergency" secret meeting leaves citizens in fear and confusion

http://www2.az-independent.com/2011/07/10/state-of-emergency-in-quartzsite/

The town council appears to be trying to create panic among Quartzsite citizens by holding an unannounced secret meeting, and nobody can get a straight answer.

At 12:00 today, Quartzsite Town Council-members Cowell, Kelley, Lukkasson, Anderson and Winslow held a special, locked door meeting at town hall. In attendance were Town Clerk Karen Norris and (appointed at an illegal meeting) new Town Attorney/Town Prosecutor?Town Parliamentarian Martin Brannan They voted unanimously to take some kind of action. It was reported that from what could be heard through the glass door, they may have possibly declared a state of emergency in Quartzsite, after town officials were deluged by angry emails for several days. When confronted by unnerved citizens, Cowell waffled, Lukkasson denied, and Kelley said he couldn't talk about it. The mayor refused to participate in an "illegal meeting", and was locked out of the building.

One thing's for sure, there's no transparency in Quartzsite government!

    Is Chief of Police Jeff Gilbert getting ready for his own version of “The Night of the Long Knives?” I have been told by Mayor Ed Foster that the Town Council has scheduled a 10:00 A.M. meeting today at town hall under their “State of Emergency” or more common know as the suspensions of Cities Rights under “Martial Law,” where NO emergency exist unless you are IMHO one of the cockroaches in town hall having the light of truth being shined on you!

    The most alarming item as reported comes from (alleged) Chief Gilbert contacting other outside agencies to make a show of force by sending as many police officers as they can to town hall today. For the first time I can see why many people are upset and calling what has been happening in Quartzsite under the direction of Town Manager Alex Taft and Chief Jeff Gilbert the “Resurrection of the Nazi 3rd Reich” in Quartzsite, Arizona!

    Remember, Chief Jeff Gilbert was allowed during the town hall meeting to openly attacking Mayor Ed Foster and turning the podium towards the public to make his comment without being arrested! What is good for the goose is good for the gander.

    What happened this morning at the Quartzsite Town Hall will be seen around the world as a body of elected officials that don’t think that the law applies to them. The link below spells the downfall to the Town of Quartzsite as it is about to be drug into the Federal Court System for open and willful violations of Civil Right and defying both Arizona State and Federal laws that govern the actions of those “Under Color of Law.”

    I just saw the video of Jennifer's arrest and couldn't believe it. It is simply INCOMPREHENSIBLE that the police did NOT obey the acting Mayor's ORDERS to release her! Now I've learned this out-of-control city council subsequently FIRED THE MAYOR and replaced him with the POLICE CHIEF! I don't think they can do this kind of shit EVEN IN NICARAGUA!

    And NO ONE in the audience stood-up for that woman & the Mayor. They should have ALL OVERWHELMED the cops to make them stand down. And if guns are drawn, then so be it. That's the f@cking problem with the United States; everyone has the right to bear arms, but no one has the 'BALLS' to actually do it.

    Take the time to listen in on this You Tube Video where Vic-Mayor Barbara Cowell admits in her own words (at 33 seconds into the video) that she, “didn’t know about the meeting until I was asked to come,” to the Sunday July 10th meeting. Again this shows a direct violation of the Arizona Open Meetings Law!
