A censure vote at Woodinville City Council spiraled into shouting and intimidation, starting in city hall and continuing outside. Now, city leaders say they are concerned for their safety.
A censure vote of a controversial city councilmember in Woodinville descended into utter chaos, after the councilwoman’s infuriated father got aggressive with the mayor. The outburst began inside city hall and escalated further outside."At one point he chest bumped me and tried to block my way on the sidewalk," said Mayor Mike Millman. "He also grabbed another council member.
"The other cause for censure is more divisive. Best-Campbell stunned the majority of fellow councilmembers by meeting with legislative assistants in Washington D.C. during her family’s spring break vacation. Evans was concerned during discussions with members of both Rep. Suzan DelBene and Senator Patty Murray’s offices she poked holes in a critical grant application."That puts upwards of $5 million at risk," said Evans.
