He followed it with his own comments ... as councillors Alanna Mallon, E. Denise Simmons, Craig Kelley and finally Tim Toomey left the room. Mayor Marc McGovern called a recess when there were too few councillors present to constitute a quorum; when the meeting resumed, McGovern gave Zondervan 30 seconds to finish his remarks, afterward cutting him off. “I’m trying to get at what the point is here,” McGovern had said. “This isn’t a time for a soapbox on this.”"
