| Councilmember Steve Detrick defends a voting system that is said to be violating civil rights. | |
At the Wednesday night meeting of the Elk Grove City Council meeting, about 50 speakers were commenting on a variety of matters in the almost six-hour session. Many of the speakers expressed concern about the placement of 5G small cell antennas in the city while another group pressed the city council to address what they say are the adverse effects online businesses like Airbnb is having on their neighborhoods.Among the many notable speakers, there were two who acted as bookends. Those speakers were Christina Snyder and Amar Shergill. Speaking during the public comment section was Snyder, a commercial leasing professional who is representing seven tenants of California Northstate University's Stonelake Landing shopping center. Snyder claimed she has documentation to show CNU has lied to the Elk Grove City Council and is intentionally trying to put its tenants out of business. One of the last speakers during the marathon meeting was civil rights activist Amar Shergill. Speaking during the city council's discussion of the process to change to by-district voting, Shergill not only told the city council that delaying the change of elections is a delay of justice, but he also engaged in short debate with Elk Grove City Councilmember Steve Detrick.Both videos are below.
