ST. GEORGE — In what may be seen as somewhat of a reversal of her recent decision to put a pause on public input, St. George Mayor Michelle Randall released a statement Tuesday afternoon announcing that once-a-month public input at City Council meetings would return, albeit in a modified and more limited fashion.
The mayor originally announced in early May the city would be pausing the council taking in-person public input during the first meeting of the month. Randall said this was due to some people abusing the forum for their own agendas and using it to create division within the community.
Some topics brought before the council also seemingly had nothing to do with the city proper but were national and social issues currently being played out on the national stage.
During these meetings, the mayor and council would tend to find themselves on the receiving end of accusations of being "un-American" and "woke."
