Brickbat: I Can't Hear You

Members of the Greene County,
Tennessee, Industrial Development Board weren’t using microphones.
And some of them had their backs
turned to people in the audience, so it shouldn’t have
surprised them when people attending a recent meeting on a
wastewater plant kept asking them to speak up. But board members
apparently didn’t take well to the requests. County Mayor Alan
Broyles kept telling them audience to be quiet, and when Eddie
Overholt, a member of the audience, asked them again to speak up,
Broyles had him arrested for interfering with a public meeting.
