Good evening. This is Tuesday, July sixteenth, twenty twenty-four, five thirty PM, our regular scheduled council meeting. All council members are present. If you'd like to join us, please stand. As we read in Ephesians one, verse eighteen, it says, The eyes of our understanding be enlightened, that you may know what is the hope of his calling, what are the riches and glory of his inheritance in the saints of the Lord. We ask for your blessing in this meeting, and our city may, that our city may and the peace of God and all of your understanding, the prosperity of um of your riches and glory be upon us. And then may we work together in harmony. Jesus mighty name we pray. Please be seated. All right, we start the night off with a call to the public. If you're individual, you have three minutes to speak. If you're a group, you have five minutes, your group must be with us, and you must let us know ahead of time. With that being said, uh Gabrielle Tate, Bullhead City. Gabrielle, Bullhead City. I have never spoken publicly about what I'm going to tell you tonight. But it's the honest to God truth. About two years ago, actually, it was two years ago yesterday. I received a call from Grace Hecht asking me to place on her behalf a sign on the Lamar Electric Signs on the 95. I asked her why she couldn't put the sign in her own name under her own credit card. And she said, No, I need you to put it under your credit card. I said, Why? She said, I just can't. Why? I just can't. Okay. I called Lamar. Lamar refused to put the sign saying that it was spiteful and unkind and they weren't going to do it. It was against Wahid Siri. She wanted to expose some things and put an 800 number for people to call who had been affected. As I said, Lamar refused to do it. My opinion is that you obviously didn't want a trail, and you threw me under the bus asking me to be your scapegoat. I forgave you. Things moved on, and we never talked about it. Did you care that you put me in danger? No, I don't think you did. I never spoke of this until about three days ago on a Facebook page. Because I think that everybody really needs to know what you're about and how you conduct business and get other people to do your work for you, your dirty work. What pushed me over was the terrible hit you put out on Rich Lettman in the postcard that was mailed to Bullhead City voters. I had to say you really outdid yourself. That was horrible. It was terrible, it was vicious, it was full of lies. Not a bit of it was true. Why you did it? It's because you're desperate to win. And you stoop pretty low when you did that. That's terrible, Grace. That was absolutely awful. You know the backstory on Rich Lettman. You know exactly what happened. You know his stepbrother ran that business into the ground, and it was in his name, and he was forced to file bankruptcy.
