Council reluctance to add civil rights staff draws harsh rebuke from Davenport alderman

TOM BARTON A reluctance among Davenport City Council members to add staff to more quickly investigate cases of discrimination in the city drew a sharp rebuke Tuesday from the body s lone Black member. Disgusting, Alderman Patrick Peacock, 7th Ward, said following a City Council work session to consider a request to add an investigator to help with a backlog of cases handled by the Davenport Civil Rights Commission. Flabbergasted, Peacock said after a majority on council expressed a reluctance to amend the city s proposed budget for the fiscal year beginning July 1 to pay for an additional investigator. I think there s leaders within the community who pay lip service to inclusion and diversity. . And it was evident, clearly, here . for a department that is historically underfunded.
