Muncie, Indiana: Armed and Infamous

By Deborah King-Eichholz

In yet another astounding decision, the Muncie City Council has decided to ban two citizens from the council sessions, due to remarks made in the most recent city council meeting. This is the same meeting in which a council member pointed his finger and threatened to shut down fire and police protection for the city, which was bluster and playing to the cheap seats and media.
 
Why are we expected to sit down and shut up, to cough up our hard earned dollars to a government who clearly cannot and will not manage the city on a budget?   It's always "back to the well." That well is us, people. That the council treats us with such contempt and arrogance is not a surprise.
 
While I do not agree with the reference to Mr. Murphy as "Black Bat," I do understand Mr. Fowlers' frustration with an increasingly unresponsive council. Mr. Basil Davis, Jr., has been banned because he stated the council should be tarred and feathered.
 
That would be letting them off easy.
