The Mohawk spat part II
I spent a large part of the afternoon getting audio from Wednesday’s city council meeting. Well, actually, getting the file was the easy part, but getting it from the disc the city gave me to the Web was actually quite cumbersome. There is a roughly 18-minute audio file now available of Mohawk Chief Operating Officer Kevin Richard chastising city council Wednesday.
Access the file here.
I warn you that it is not perfect. The city’s recording program saves files in 5-minute segments, a few spots were lost in the process, but the bulk of his comments are present. To help navigate the long file, here are some areas of potential interest:
3:30 Richard said city’s sources are not supported.
7:00 Richard accuses city of wasteful spending
9:00 Mayor Don Ryan responds
11:00 Richard and Councilman Ed Shelton discuss what kind of jobs Hamilton wants
15:30 Richard expresses concern about other rising utility costs
Additionally, here is the city’s explanation of the riders which caused the electric increase in the first place:
Richard challenged these explanations in his address to council.
