Do the Rules Apply to Ury?
Letter to the Editor

I challenge Councilman Frank Ury to publicly address his actions of flouting the council’s directive on meeting with the identified trash haulers after the council gave its directive on meetings, their location, and requirement to record.

Ury should address this in an open forum, not just a haughty remark from the podium where he cannot be questioned by the public.

All meetings with the trash hauling bidders after the moratorium were, by a 5-0 vote, directed to be at city hall and recorded. Ury traveled after this decree to Athens with Joe Sloan. The meeting with Athens was not recorded, and the travel time in the car to Athens with Joe Sloan was not recorded.

Both Frank Ury and Joe Sloan knew these rules! Both Frank Ury and Joe Sloan should be removed from further involvement in this contract. The city attorney should also be held accountable on this issue!
