The council received a request to censure Blankenship from Bryant Fontenot with the citizen’s group We the People, Dale County at the last council meeting.
The group wants him to be censured due to his behavior regarding the Ozark Dale County library and LGBTQ+ books in the young adult section.
Fontenot and other members attended the meeting to request he be censured once again. However, Simechak said that in order to retain order, those who have already publicly stated their claims against or about Blankenship would have to present those comments in an executive session instead and would not be allowed to attack Blankenhsip’s name in a public forum.
On the other hand, Fontenot said that since Blankenship holds a public office, he and others should be able to express those concerns. He added that their only motivation was to get the city council to issue a formal disproval because of the behaviors such as harassment against citizens that the mayor is accused of.
