Board member accuses colleagues of removing campaign signs and using slurs

During the recusal-check portion of the meeting, David criticized prior conduct at board meetings and an ethics board public statement. He said the ethics board chair had publicly announced an intention to vote against another member without asking him and described that as "really kinda unethical." He also alleged that "Bonnie Hunt went into the little store and ripped things off the, bulletin board in there, took them down."

David went on to allege that at a March 2024 meeting one board member "used profanities, racial slurs, and ****** slurs" and that nothing had been done despite an earlier proclamation against hate speech. The transcript records these allegations but contains no recorded rebuttal or formal disciplinary action in this session. The statements are presented here as claims made in the meeting; the transcript does not substantiate or refute them.
