If Elk Grove mayoral candidate Lynn Wheat discusses city council pay raises, will Bobbie Singh-Allen try suppressing her 1st Amendment rights again?

Today, Elk Grove mayoral candidate Lynn Wheat posted a video on her campaign Instagram account. In the video, Ms. Wheat displayed the salary and benefits for Mayor Bobbie Singh-Allen and her four city councilmen if, as expected, they raise their pay by 300 percent. 




Interestingly, at the September 11, 2024, city council meeting, Singh-Allen didn't dig Wheat's promotion of her campaign. After Wheat made her comments, Singh-Allen told Wheat she wasn't allowed to make political comments at the meeting.

Aside from her effort to suppress Wheat's constitutionally guaranteed First Amendment rights, Singh-Allen failed to realize Wheat wasn't the first candidate to challenge a city council member on the dais. As shown in this story and videos, other Elk Grove City Council members' political opponents have used city council meetings to advance their political purposes.  

It is likely that Ms. Wheat will speak during tomorrow's Elk Grove City Council meeting about the proposed 300 percent pay hike Singh-Allen and three of her city councilmen are expected to approve. It will be noteworthy if Singh-Allen is a snowflake and tries to suppress Wheat's speech or keep her mouth shut.

Thank you Ms. Wheat for standing up the Madame Mayor Bobbie Singh-Allen. Just as Joseph N. Welch stood up to Senator Joseph McCarthy 70 years ago this June, if the mayor tries suppressing your right to free speech, consider asking her, to paraphrase Mr. Welch, "Have you no sense of decency, madame, at long last? Have you left no sense of decency?"

Not a member of the Bar, don't try to preach the law.
