| June 5, 2007 Regular City Council Meeting The final passage of the McWhinney Enterprise's request to add 850 new residential units to their mixed-use development east of I-25 resulted in some spirited conversations and a sarcasm attack by Councilwoman Jan Brown (see video link right) against a colleague. A number of LovelandPolitics readers asked that we air the video that resulted in some in Loveland calling Jan Brown the "Queen of Mean." Below are two different stories about the meeting Rousey Votes No and Skowron Attacked by Brown. Councilman Glenn Rousey voted against the addition and Councilman Walt Skowron asked some tough questions of staff regarding the related resolution. Both were victims of bantering and mocking comments being made by the McWhinney apologists on the City Council. Even the City Manager couldn't contain his laughter at mean spirited comments aimed at Councilman Walt Skowron by Pielin and Brown. However, it was the City Manager who finally put an end to what appeared to be a personal attack by stating, "moving right along." The Mayor sat quietly as comments became personal and departed from discussion of the agendized items. Both Mayor Pro Tem Pielin and Councilwoman Jan Brown took pot shots at colleagues on the Ciy Council attempting to better understand the resolutions before them or needing additional information. Jan Brown had no questions on either measure and voted in favor of both. |
