Dear Editor:
Anyone who has been to the City of North Vancouver council meetings has heard the mayor's admonition that, "A council meeting is like a court of law, so there will be no clapping, booing,cheering allowed from the gallery."
It now appears that the mayor's "court of law" simile does not apply to himself and his team on council. On Monday night, the mayor and Coun. Keating were caught tweeting comments about the proceedings while council was debating. This morning I checked with the Supreme Court, where trials by jury take place, and was told that a judge clearly states that no electronic communicating devices are to be used while court was in session - not by observers, jurors or court staff.
It seems our mayor's philosophy is do as I say, not do as I do.
So, here is an admonition to Mayor Mussatto - either clean up your side of council meetings or expect some rowdy reactions from the gallery!
