A Council Member noted that freedom of speech is a great thing but it comes with <br /> responsibility. He said that as Council Members they have to have thick skin because <br /> people make accusations and don't know about the Council's integrity and he is sad <br /> that some things were said and were shameful because people have families and <br /> children and some people's children have been hurt and that is a sad day. He also <br /> added he is not in favor of an advisory vote because it "all depends". <br /> Mayor Aguirre made comments about all politics being local and how we have an <br /> opportunity to set and example. She also said that a speaker said this is a "victory" and <br /> in the Mayors opinion a victory is when a community works together and she thanked <br /> the 99% that were civil and respectFul throughout this process. <br /> 9.
