COMMENT PUBLIC City Clerk Melanie Falk read the following comments:
Sally Egler,
To Macomb City Council Members: It is unclear from the newspaper article if one of the changes being recommended is to Eliminate email comments. I urge you to maintain that avenue of communication, given the current health crisis.
Parelee Brown,
Dear City Council: Last week I watched a video that Alderman Brown-Edwards posted on social Media regarding the harassments she received from two Macomb residents on Election Day.
In the video, a woman and a man approached Alderman Brown-Edwards saying that she owned half of Collins Avenue. The woman explained that the city was well aware that this specific portion of the street did not belong to City of Macomb.
The woman said that half of Collins Avenue and everything east of the center of the road was their property. Someone commenting on the social media post identified the couple as Mr. and Mrs. Collins of Macomb.
The gentleman said, “the Democratic Party is the new communist party”. That had nothing to do with why Mrs. Brown-Edwards was on Collins Ave. Alderman Brown-Edwards was only placing “Vote Here” signs near polling places to inform voters where to vote. She was not placing any party affiliated signs at all.
I find it hard to understand that anyone in the city limits owns a street from the center of the road towards their property.
Does the city only plow the west side of Collins Ave?
Are the Collins Family responsible for the center of the road to the East portion of Collins Ave. for road maintenance?
Can a resident of Macomb purchase half of a city street?
Looking forward to your response.
Dr. Melanie Rawlins,
Please do not change existing guidelines for public comment policy, particularly reading emails. With the exploding covid cases and high positivity rates in McDonough County, it does not seem reasonable or advisable to determine the only way the public can express comments is in person. Please continue being able to email comments. Being the high-risk category myself, it would not be safe for me to be in person.
Samuel Richardson,
This week I write to my public comment to inform the community that this week is Transgender Awareness Week (November 13-19). This is a week when transgender people and their allies take action to bring attention to the community by educating the public about who transgender people are, sharing stories and experiences, and advancing advocacy around the issues of prejudice, discrimination, and violence that affect the transgender community.
The weed before Transgender Day of Remembrance on November 20, people and organizations around the country participate in Transgender Awareness Week to help raise the visibility of transgender people and address issues members of the community face.
Transgender Day of Remembrance (TDOR), is an annual observance on November 20 that honors the memory of the transgender people whose lives were lost in acts of anti-transgender violence between October 1, 2019 and September 30, 2020. For that period, 47 lives were taken in the U.S. (that we know of), and 386 worldwide; this includes death by violence, by self-harm, those who died in ways yet to be determined.
This important knowledge, considering the hate crimes that occurred in Macomb earlier this week when homes of members of the LGBTQ community were egged. The increase in hate incidents and hate crimes in Macomb is truly alarming, and the Mayor’s silence on these hatred and discrimination we face is heartbreaking.
Mayor Inman, I implore you to set up a Town Hall or add an agenda item for the next council meeting to discuss these hate incidents and hate crimes in Macomb.
Our LGBTQ+ and Black communities in Macomb are suffering, please do not let their cries fall on deaf ears.
Emiliano Vera,
I am concerned with two recent changes made at the Macomb City Council.
First, the Council will be discussing this week yet another incentive program to help “small” businesses. While it is absolutely the City’s responsibility to help ensure its residents thrive, I must express concern that those who are repeatedly asking for and receiving help from the Macomb taxpayers are those that already have relatively a lot. This is a difficult time for businesses. But this is also and especially a difficult time for working families. I had raised my concerns back in June when the last incentive to give people a discount on their water bills in return for spending so much at local businesses was proposed. Instead of simply giving families relief on their bills, I predicted that making poor families jump through extra hoops and spend money they don’t have to qualify for relief would inevitably result in an underutilized program and one that gives public money to those who needed it least. In fact, that is what happened. As part of the No Ameren Shutoffs Coalition, I have received calls of help from McDonough Power Cooperative customers who have been getting disconnected since July. Surely in the hierarchy of priorities for a city that is going to be under financial stress, the city should not be spending public money on supporting private business-owners that represent among the most well-off in our community, but instead on making sure that essential workers and unemployed people can remain in their homes safely with winter coming quickly.
Second, I am concerned about the recent changes to the public comment policy. While I typically identify myself when speaking before the Council, I also think that it’s important for people to be able to speak with anonymity if they so choose. Especially given the escalation of threats of violence against people of color and most recently, the egging of 3 gay couples houses, people should be able to comment anonymously so they feel safe bringing their concerns to the council. Similarly, shifting the rules and adding new restrictions on public comments as frequently as this council has done puts up extra barriers to people trying to access their city leaders in a space that is already intimidating for many people. It should be as simple, straightforward, accessible, and welcoming as possible for citizens to make their voices hear to their local government.
Julie Hannen,
Dear Macomb City Council,
We wish to address the changes being made to the public comment period. Requiring people give their full names disenfranchises already marginalized community members who cannot safely speak in public due to circumstances beyond their control.
Abuse victims with active orders of protection against those who have hurt them, members of our LGBTQ+ community who already live in fear of being targeted for more hate and violence, as well as those who face retaliation at work for speaking their concerns about issues publicly are all examples of the population such a policy targets for silencing.
Please allow those with extenuating circumstances to request to have their legal name withheld to do so so their voices may be heard by this public body.
Also, limiting all persons to 3 minutes is acceptable but there should be opportunities for accommodations made for those with trauma, language fluency, and cognitive and/or speech impairments, or when discussion difficult or controversial subjects which may make expressing themselves in that time period more difficult than it is for others. An extension of two minutes as an option would be helpful.
As for the several restaurants and bars continuing to defy the public health experts directives, we hope to hear our city leaders stand up for science-informed public policy on COVID and demand they comply with our public health professionals concerned with saving lives. We all are hurting, some much more than others. Yet failing to hold non-compliant businesses and employers accountable for failing to do their part continues to put all our people’s health and lives at risk. Piecemeal compliance will NOT stop this pandemic, and those not doing their part are ensuring that efforts to stem the spread are ensuring more misery for all.
Mayor Inman, you must task our police with doing their job of enforcement, and stand with our health department as they do theirs. We understand that this is a tough position, but it is the proper action for a Mayor to take in these complex circumstances, because it properly prioritizes what is good for the entire community for the long-term over what is good for one business for the short-term at the expense of the community.
Please do your job and direct the Police Chief to enforce the mandates, stand with the Health Department and hospital, and demand local business owners do their part as well or be held accountable.
The following public comments were made in person:
Ms. Heather McMeekan,
Dear Mayor Inman and Macomb City Council
When an anti-LGBTQ hate group marched with a republican judge group in last year’s WIU Homecoming parade, Macomb City leaders sat silent. Last year an anti-LGBTQ church offered to partner with our city for an all town day of service. Our LGBTQ community saw photo ops and a statement from our Mayor welcoming the partnership, despite how it made many members of the LGBTQ feel.
The optics of our local community partnering with a church whose dogma website openly expressed hateful views towards our marginalized community, sends a message about whom you choose to represent and whom you choose to ignore.
In 2019 the Democratic Women of McDonough County, proudly marched the first pride flag across all parades in the county we could attend. We were met with positive responses, but also, negative ones, including rude gestures, language, and other signs of cognitive defensiveness which are hallmarks of hate. We held the first ever pride fest in Chandler Park in April of 2019 with Almost 500 attendees from all over the county and region.
Several Clergy attended, most in disguise, lest their hateful church members retaliate against their jobs for supporting the marginalized members of their flock. What kind of community causes Clergy to have to disguise themselves to support LGBTQ community members who do not feel safe or valued or welcomed living openly as themselves here, or certainly not in their churches either?
Macomb, it’s a moral disgrace to have married LGBTQ adults who cannot express their love and affection openly in our community due to ongoing targeting of them. Slurs, disgusting gestures, complaints, threats and violence.
Micro aggressions and displays of toxic masculinity, expressed as homophobia, transphobia, are on the rise. Every act degrades feelings of safety and belonging. These incidents cause us to lose far too many members of our vibrant LGBTQ community. They move away for safer, kinder, more welcoming communities with leaders who openly challenge incidents of hate and intolerance, to set higher expectations for community behavior.
This past weekend, several LGBTQ families were targeted in their homes for hate crimes, hate incidents, which we hope will be investigated as hate crimes. The perpetrator was allegedly caught. The issue before us is our culture here, which signals to those with ignorance, fear, bias and hate in their hearts, to believe they can target our LGBTQ community with little to no consequences.
Please speak up in your reports for our LGBTQ community. Your visible ally ship helps prevent future hate incidents. Visible local expression of concern and support for LGBTQ are urgently needed and by all community leaders.
Marcial,
First, I’m going to co-sign all other comments made. Especially the ones about e-mailing comments going away. I’m gonna bring to attention to the members of our listening public, some suppression tactics members of the council seek to employ against those of us who wish to speak to council, in an “on the record” setting where there are witnesses. I’m talking specifically about city council, where everything is recorded and is broadcast on YouTube. It gets rid of “hear-say”. Everybody knows what is said here.
I read in the news, there’s expected to be a vote to amend the public comment policy. There are multiple suggested changes, but the one’s that most concern me are; public commentors will have to stated name and address before speaking; and the total time for public comment will be capped at 30 minutes.
The first one, a new rule requiring to essentially dot themselves, is extremely dangerous and furthermore adds nothing to the validity of public comment. This is clearly a way to discourage us, namely people who speak out against racism, homophobia or bigotry. It’s a discouragement tactic.
The last protest I attended in Macomb, over by the Credit Union, a man, 3 men, 3 white men, in a pickup truck, drove past with a confederate flag hanging out the window. Now we all should know what a confederate flag means, especially when you wave it at a black person. You might as well wave a noose at me. Think about that when you’re making it so we have to say our name and address.
The proposed amendment forces us to choose between our freedom of speech and our safety. Every council member that would vote yes, would co-sign on that. Every person voting yes, co-signs that. Every person that does not vocally condemn that; and say that it’s a terrible idea, is silent, is silent in the violence that will happen because of it.
Are you willing to be the reason that some cease exercising their First Amendment rights?
Are you willing to be the reason a confederate might know where I live, the next time I’m required to my name and address?
We all know what happened to Dr. King when people found out where he lived, they bombed his house. We know what happened to the Ferguson protesters, people who organized the marches and stuff, they were found burned in their cars.
When people speak out, they’re in danger. If you sign on this, you are signing on that danger. We will all know who you are! Cause again I’m on camera. 3 minutes.
