Speaker recounts parent screaming at meeting, says they "let her yell"
An unidentified speaker at a public meeting described a heated encounter with a constituent, saying a parent "began the conversation about this screaming at me."

The speaker said they usually ask for respectful conversation but decided to let the parent speak in that moment. "And I think it was important to let her yell because I knew that her..." the speaker said, adding that they allowed the parent to express frustration rather than interrupting.

The anecdote was presented as a personal account rather than a formal complaint or investigatory finding. The transcript does not indicate whether the constituent's allegations were recorded elsewhere or whether officials responded to that person's claims during the meeting.

The remark highlights the emotional tenor of the issue for at least some residents; beyond the anecdote, the transcript offers no follow-up or resolution.
