Letter: Should commission be allowed to ignore speakers?

Dear Historic City News editor:

I did not want to be disrespectful during Monday night’s city commission meeting when commissioner Neville misstated my race, however, I wrote him a polite e-mail after the meeting asking for a public correction which he has ignored.  His response may have been more upsetting than his original mistake.

Dear Historic City News editor:

I was the manager on duty at the Historic Ponce Hotel when Rachel Ashley Bilka was asked to leave.  Her complaint has created a fire storm on social media, so I would like to offer your readers some facts to consider before they draw the wrong conclusion about the situation.
