Mayor Diane Lincoln in 2016 demands the council approve adding a new rate increase in addition to the protested one.  You can't hear Janice Ray saying, "It would be harsh for people on fixed income to be paying $200 water bills", because she sitting next to the mayor and always talks in a low voice.  But you do hear the mayor shouting over everyone, repeatedly telling them NO, NO, NO, and finally slams her hand, tells them, "I don't want to hear it",  and telling Lynn Florence..."Lynn Shut UP", without giving her the opportunity to speak.
