MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br /> Monday,July 25,2022 <br /> 6:00 o'clock p.m. <br /> Mr.Nygard replied his point is the Mayor is a jack-ass. <br /> A member of the public spoke from the back and said"Somebody is acting like a child." <br /> Another member of the public said"You guys be quiet." <br /> Mayor Walsh did not hear Gabe yelling when he was over there heckling people and asked if he will pick <br /> and choose what he wants to be arguing about?Maybe he should fucking learn something too. <br /> Mr.Nygard said"Ooh. This is my three minutes Mr.Walsh." <br /> Crosby said Mr.Nygard is down to 37 seconds. <br /> Mr.Nygard appreciates that they stopped the clock because of what had been going on.He will resume as <br /> long as Mayor Walsh pays attention. <br /> Mayor Walsh replied he is listening and for Mr.Nygard to say whatever he is going to say. <br /> Mr.Nygard stated he is not paying any attention.He came up here last time and had a silent protest. <br /> Mayor Walsh noted that worked well. <br /> Mr.Nygard said Mayor Walsh held up a newspaper and ignored him the whole time except when looking <br /> at the clock.Everybody who was here disrespected him in his protest. <br /> Gabriel Jabbour,985 Tonkawa Road, said this is absolutely inexcusable,it is disgusting,the citizens <br /> deserve better, and he understands there is a lot of garbage coming to them. He repeated he understands <br /> there is a lot of garbage coming to them.But getting people in the audience to take over the meeting,there <br /> is no place that.If the Council would take care of those people and give Mr.Jabbour the right to speak, <br /> they will have no problem. He said they might learn from immigrants that political discord is the most <br /> protected of the First Amendment and Mr.Jabbour is embarrassed this is happening,he is upset this is <br /> happening, and it does not please him. He said they will find out why it is happening and the question was <br /> if the Council will figure out a way to deal with it and put it behind them?Mr.Jabbour addressed Mr. <br /> Crosby and said Target does not sell respect, one earns respect rather than buying it at the market. If he <br /> wants respect,he gives respect.Mr.Jabbour was not planning to speak and said Mr. Walsh hammered <br /> Mayor Peterson two seconds before her time. <br /> Mayor Walsh replied nope. <br /> Mr.Jabbour stated they are a small little town and they are all neighbors and he asked the Council to try <br /> to figure out how they can show and lead the City in a better direction.He asked them to get together,hire <br /> someone,figure out what happens,get a mediator with Mr.Erickson,and figure it out.But trying to ask <br /> friends to come to the meeting to defend them is like Mr.Jabbour throwing fire in the living room, it is <br /> inappropriate. He said to Mr.Walsh(pointing behind him)those people are under that position,an oath, <br /> they spill the beans.The Council cannot bring people here to control other people.He said thank you. <br /> Mayor Walsh said to Mr.Jabbour it is interesting that a few years ago if he remembers right... <br /> Page 6 of 8 <br />
