ANTI-ARTIST Comm'r NEVILLE Attacks Mayor Shaver, Who Responded Graciously to the Hick Hobbledehoy

Confrontational, combative, cruel  coverup C.P.A. Commissioner (opposed to no-bid contract audits), our nasty St. Augustine City Commission ODD TODD NEVILLE (R-Proctorville), elected with MOMENTUM STRATEGIES GROUP, INC. floor-planning,  rang in the New Year with disharmony and dissonance in an otherwise happy meeting where two new parks were created.

ODD TODD NEVILLE notoriously disgraced himself at the January 11, 2016 meeting.

You've got to watch it for yourself.  
Watch video here.

On December 21, 2015, Mayor Nancy Shaver met and spoke with people protesting in favor of artists protesting the City's anti-artist ordinance.
She was careful to check with our City Attorney, Isabelle Christine Lopez, and not do anything improper. 
ODD TODD NEVILLE attacked her at the January 11, 2016 City Commission meeting for speaking to litigants (horrors) and being "photographed" with them (horrors), opining that she should have all communications with the artists through "our attorney."

The Record reported:

Commissioner Todd Neville and Shaver exchanged comments at the end of the meeting. Neville cautioned commissioners about engaging the opposition in the city’s court cases.

One case involves four artists who are challenging the city’s rules on the sale of art. That lawsuit is in federal court.

Neville did not specify a case in his comments.

“I just want to remind everybody that let’s let our lawyers engage with the other side. We should not be doing that. ... It’s a touchy subject,” Neville said.

“I think we all understand that,” Shaver said.

“Well, mayor, you’re the one that I’m specifically talking to,” Neville said.

“And I would suggest that you understand that I’m extremely aware of it, and everything I have done has been cleared with Isabelle [Lopez, the city attorney]. ... I don’t really need instruction on it, Mr. Neville. Thank you so much,” Shaver said.

“Standing with people who are suing us and having your picture taken. ... You might not have done anything wrong, but the appearance of it is not good,” Neville said.

“Mr. Neville, I go many places,” Shaver said. “I have my picture taken doing many things, and I appreciate your interpretation of it. And I think you should understand that I have many years of experience dealing with complicated legal issues, and that my behavior reflects that. Thank you.”

Watch it here, at the end of Commissioner's comments.

NEVILLE was apparently heavily caffeinated, bouncing around earlier in the meeting during presentations.  ODD TODD reminds me of what Governor Ann Richards said of George Herbert Walker Bush: "Poor George.  He can't help it.  He was born with a silver foot in his mouth."

That scum. What did Neville utter at the very beginning of the meeting when the major spoke? He seemed furious.

I think he has mental health issues. Unsuited for public office.

Where is the recall?

Isn't Odd Todd the one that tried to get the city to sue a blog site because it didn't issue platitudes about him? He does look odd, if you put his pic next to Gov Scott, they looked like they were "separated at birth".
