I have followed local council meetings throughout the valley for years - through the newspaper. Every town has had its turn at being the most interesting for different reasons. This one takes the cake by far. The mayor and two new councilmen should be extremely embarrassed by their actions. Unbelievable! I feel bad for Mr. Orzechowski and Ms. Thomas. They, and the citizens of Monessen, deserve more respect.
WOW!!!! How embarising!! I feel bad for the police officers that were present, for the business owners and towns people. This is like a comedy show, the little court jester banging the gavel like a spoiled child...
No wonder our town is going to hell in a handbasket!! We have rules and our mayor and the dude to the right are just spitting on us and our town!!!! How dare you!! To those who spoke up, thank you so much for caring about our town and us as citizens. We clearly need to vote those two OUT!! A new direction but I don't have to tell anyone, to hell with that!
This is bad. You can't break meeting protocol even if you are in the right. You can't continue with a vote if a council person wants to speak. You can't skip public contribution at the end of the meeting.
Ironic how he couldn’t give an answer to the people of the community, but had no problem giving an answer during his tv interview. Almost like he needed to think of one…😂
Monessen is classified by the state as a third-class city. That form of government includes an option where the mayor does vote and basically serves as president of the council. Please don't take this as an endorsement of his actions, just clarification about all of the various forms of local gov't allowed in PA: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Local_government_in_Pennsylvania#Third_class_cities
Personally, I commend the patience and tolerance of everyone in that room. I am very confident that I would have been arrested for cracking that gavel over his head. This is an example of what happens when the citizenry ignores local politics unless there’s a presidential election. Participate or be ruled by children.
He seguido las reuniones del consejo local en todo el valle durante años, a través del periódico. Cada pueblo ha tenido su turno de ser el más interesante por diferentes motivos. Este se lleva la palma con diferencia. El alcalde y dos nuevos concejales deberían estar extremadamente avergonzados por sus acciones. ¡Increíble! Me siento mal por el Sr. Orzechowski y la Sra. Thomas. Ellos y los ciudadanos de Monessen merecen más respeto.
He’s not the worst, he just a typical democrat. The gay community would be much more wise to stop following a party that strictly uses them for their own benefit with empty promises, and lies.
@@dukenukembubblegum7311 and how’s that election fraud going? You guys lies takes the cake buddy and it’s their right to be whatever sexual orientation they want it’s republicans that are using this for poltical purposes not democrats
It sounds like the old guard hated the idea that new influence would be dominating the agenda. I think the mayor and the councilpersons that voted with him were correct in the changes needed.
What makes you think gays have to do with this huh I have nothing against gays tho I'm Christmas and believe in God you have no right to judge people of these Sexuality i know that straight shove the straight stuff down are throughs both gays and straights do the same thing with shoving the Sexuality down are throats so we have the right to choose what we want not what you want we can choose what we want
I dress up as Santa once a year, this guy dresses up as mayor once every two years.

13:19 37:21 "take that gavel, and shove it!!!!" 39:42 "put the gavel down, you idiot"
Bill Sarto is in the back of the room still waiting for a second. He didn't get one at his city council meeting.

What a blessing I don't live in this town!
This is absolutely disgusting. I’m ashamed to be from this town.
Wow..... all I got is wow.... praying for the citizens of monessen
This was entertaining as fuck
They can't fire the mayor?
My goodness - this is Carpentersville level here lol
🤣🤣🤣 You watch that show too.
Lmfao! The Selectman stuff from MA is pretty good too 🤣
Ironic how he couldn’t give an answer to the people of the community, but had no problem giving an answer during his tv interview. Almost like he needed to think of one…😂
what are they saying they don’t have around the 4:30 mark? i can’t understand.
I feel for the citizens of Monessen! SOMEONE needs to get on the FACTS, the mayor is not even supposed to vote! look up the law and have him removed.

I dont think it's appropriate to begin the meeting by pledging allegiance to the mayor. Oh, wait, no, I think they said "flag".
Oh damn 😂😂😂

Lol 😂 MATT SAID I AINT PLAYING WITH YALL TODAY.
Lol at “put that gavel down you idiot!”
This undoubtedly happened in 2020😜😜😜
So the mayor is leading by spite and envy because of his own actions....
The gay community revokes his card. He’s being used. Little King Jeffrey with his hammer is the worst of Democrat.

He should have been removed. Most city charters allow for the removal of a member who misses too many meetings.
the guy making side comments in the background is hilarious.
Someone should have stole a kangaroo from the Pittsburgh zoo and brought it to this meeting. Would have been fitting.
Ok Ed, how is this "moving in a new direction" I really doubt anything u do would magically make monessen great with one swipe of that stupid gravel
I can't decide whether city council meetings or depositions are my favorite. should axe Michelle 😹
Depositions you say…? Do tell / link. :)
@@jasonmiller5586 ruclips.net/video/wwhQs7yjN6A/видео.html lol one of the best to start with
Time for a change and people are mad about it. If the city is struggling for money cut positions that are not needed, and move forward.
Lol he called him a Fairy God Mother 😂😂😂
The only thing missing is the kangaroo!!
wait..so where has he been for 2 years? went to college as fulltime?

This is the entertainment at its finest. Though I really feel bad for the citizens of this town. This mayor sucks.
He was a one term mayor. He recently lost his bid for a reelection.
Little girl better lower his tone of voice
But Monessen has a cool hipster mayor.
They should have walked out
The inmates are running the asylum
This look like a little city coup d’état!
All democrats of course
They city will never vote for a gay or young man again. Good God this mayor is super corrupt!
Gay has nothing to do with it you twit.
What makes you think gays have to do with this huh I have nothing against gays tho I'm Christmas and believe in God you have no right to judge people of these Sexuality i know that straight shove the straight stuff down are throughs both gays and straights do the same thing with shoving the Sexuality down are throats so we have the right to choose what we want not what you want we can choose what we want
What exactly is the correlation between gay and corrupt?? Are you gay and know something we don't?
Take your hate and shove it!
This Is a joke.
