A2: City Council

An illustration by Ann Arbor News artist Tammie Graves shows caricatures of four Ann Arbor city councilmembers – Leigh Greden, Christopher Taylor, Carsten Hohnke and Margie Teall – as little kids, reflecting the childish content of some email exchanges sent during council meetings. The art accompanies an editorial taking them to task for emails that mock the public, each other, and in some cases discuss how councilmembers plan to vote. “It calls into question the council members’ focus on the job at hand. It at least skirts violations of the Open Meetings Act. And it’s just plain rude.” [Source]
