Despite passing an ordinance recently that creates public forum at COW meetings, they did not allow me to speak. Why do they not honor free speech and follow our laws? Are they above the law? Who is our council representing if they will not listen to the citizens? It is my right to have my voice heard. You mumbled your complaint as you walked out of the meeting, before the council tried to correct themselves. That was an honest oversight by the Mayor and council. Had you raised your hand before the adjournment, you would have been acknowledged I'm sure. You were out the door before they could correct themselves. Had you stuck around you'd have known that. I absolutely did not mumble. They knew that I had something to say. They know that I almost always speak. The Mayor just does not want to hear what I have to say. You will not convince me that he didn't know that I had something to say. Why would I stick around? To hang out with them? The meeting was already adjourned.

Now everyone on the council can read your mind that you want to speak. Come on, it was an honest mistake and if you had waited just a few seconds to let your statement settle in, they would have given you an opportunity to speak. I know that Ed Brozak didn't know, his back was turned and he didn't see you. Jimmie Lansford has always been polite and respectful to you. At first I showed respect, but then you got like a broken record. Never again though. You haven't earned anybody's respect and you certainly didn't show a dying man or his family any respect on his last night as a councilman. You will always get what you deserve Kyle.

....And more flooding the forum by Kyle. You all know what HE has to say is more important than anyone else. Willy, I feel bad that you ever had to deal with this guy in real life.

Kyle, why not accept their story that it was an honest mistake, be there for the next meeting and see if they offer up for public comments?
Nobody is perfect, including the city of Streator.

Wise advice Sniper. I couldn't see them passing an ordinance and then purposely not allowing public comments. I am not familiar with the ordinance. Maybe they didn't offer to take public comments, because the matter was tabled, instead of up for a vote? Kyle, if you said you didn't mumble, what did you say, and what was their response?

I really admire how many people on here have replied with thoughtful intelligent responses and suggestions for the way Kyle can work effectively with the City. That being said, he will ignore you. He will not follow your advice. He does not really want to hear it. It's very sad to see.

Yes, it is sad to see. I feel if you, Kyle, would have handled things differently, you could have made a difference to Streator in a positive way. As I've said before, I agree whole heartedly with your fight, just not your choice of weapon.

As I've said before, I agree whole heartedly with your fight, just not your choice of weapon. I couldn't agree more. It's not too late Kyle to take a step back and think things through clearly. Quit calling our City corrupt for one thing. I don't think you really know the credentials that our city council has. Nor do you know their commitment to the community. We do. Change is good. It can also be bad. It's up to ALL of us voters to decide. Quit pushing your slanted agendas on to us and then when we don't respond accordingly, lump us into one pot as being crime and alcohol supporters. You either do that or you ignore us and our advice altogether. I'm not one for railroading you out of town or stifling your right to free speech but you push it way too far with your actions and your constant haranguing of our town. You might need a little vacation. There is a lot more out there than this town to see.

I would hope a potential appointed city council member would show respect, to any citizen that approaches the city council. I do not perceive that,in a previous post. That does not say a lot about, a wannabe "good old boy member."

I can't believe you have the BALLS to come on here and start a thread titled "lack of free speech" when you come on a forum you KNOW is not moderated and FLOOD the f**k out of it with your bull$hit. Everyone can't help BUT to read your $hit because every other thread is ABOUT KYLE. Not to mention saying $hit to people you WOULDN'T SAY TO THEIR FACE! Free speech....You're a f**king joke and I'm happy as f**k everyone is seeing you for the f**king coward you really are.

You gotta at least give Kyle some credit,he comes on here everyday posting things and his opinions knowing full well that everybody knows who he is. Same with Willy for that matter. I probably wouldnt have the balls to do that.

I probably wouldnt have the balls to do that. Oh, I agree with you. But, I wonder what he would do if someone walked into his little re-sale shop and told them exactly what they thought of him. I am POSITIVE he would never say the things to MY face that he has said here. Not sure if he has balls or is stupid.

There is no doubt that you Kyle are very passionate about your views. I get it. I really, really, get it. Your complaints against the City are the very reasons I moved out of Streator. Too much crime and nothing being done about it. I experienced it pretty much on a daily basis just like you do. I just couldn't take living there anymore. I just soooooo wish you would have gone about it differently. I really believe that if you had, you could have made a real difference.

I was just reading an informative article about citizen's rights in The Times, front page.
