Laurie Sandow, a South Grand Avenue resident, used the council's public comment period on June 10 to criticize Council Chair Duron Wilson's conduct at the June 3 Common Council meeting and to accuse the council of operating behind closed caucuses.

Sandow said the public was "mistreated to a full frontal view of council chair Duron Wilson's arrogance and abuse of power" during the June 3 meeting. She accused Wilson of rearranging the order of public speakers and cutting her off while giving extra time to others. Sandow criticized what she described as selective use of the city charter and said, "When he was running for office, he delivered a civics lecture rather than his platform, and when he ran out of time, he demanded and was given more time to speak." She also quoted remarks she attributed to Wilson: "I don't think you all are ready for this" and said Wilson later expanded, "I really don't think you're ready. I think you just sit in the audience. I think you come to the meetings. You complain. You might say stuff."

Sandow criticized the council's practice of same-party caucuses and said the public has "rejected Sekima Mclinton in every race she's ever run as a registered republican," a comment made in the course of criticizing council membership decisions.

The comments were delivered during the public participation portion of the June 10 meeting. The transcript excerpt does not show any formal council response, disciplinary action, or clarification from Council Chair Duron Wilson in the provided segments.
