Jo Rae Perkins addressed the Albany City Council on Wednesday, taking issue with her Jan. 27 dismissal from the cityâs Human Relations Commission.
Perkins spoke during a public comment period in the virtual council meeting, saying she was surprised to read about her removal from the board, which is dedicated to strengthening connections within Albanyâs diverse community.
She said the decision was based on âhalf-truths, misquotes, innuendo and statements taken out of contextâ and that no councilor had reached out to her for clarification.
Perkins was removed from the board after a story appeared in the Albany Democrat-Herald and Corvallis Gazette-Times chronicling the politicianâs presence in Washington, D.C., during a Jan. 6 protest that turned violent as a pro-Donald Trump mob broke through police barricades and attempted to disrupt the counting of Electoral College votes to certify Joe Biden s election as president.
