The Movement against Parking Meters (MAPM) has said it will continue to fight for the removal of Georgetown Mayor Patricia Chase-Green and Town Clerk Royston King as well as transparency and accountability in the spending of tax dollars.
Members of the group and supporters took to the streets in front of City Hall last Thursday to protest the mayor’s decision to disallow a motion of no-confidence against King based on legal advice he secured from attorney Maxwell Edwards.
“MAPM is also appalled at the manner in which the nominations for Deputy Mayor were closed without opportunity for further nominations,” member Don Singh said, while referring the swift closing of nominations during the mayoral elections on Thursday. “We view this as an assault on democratic practices and will resist this in any way that we can. We urge citizens of Georgetown to do their civic duty and join us as we fight for transparency and accountability in the spending of our hard earned tax dollars,” Singh added.
