The State Committee on Open Government awarded special recognition to Niagara Falls Council Chairperson Jim Perry.
Perry made the naughty list for preventing Tanya Barone from speaking during the public comment portion of a City Council meeting because he didn’t like what she had to say and for requesting to have a police officer remove the individual.
Barone was speaking about concerns she had regarding the City’s animal shelter contract and Mr. Perry did not want to hear it.
“It was terrible conduct on the part of a public official” the committee said.
