Three members of the Pontiac City Council said they d accept an apology from one of their peers after a lawsuit he filed against the city demanded their resignations.
Hearing the apology from Councilman Randy Carter, the three said they’d drop their motion to censure him, even though the lawsuit Carter filed Feb. 23 lashed out at them.
At a virtual council meeting held Tuesday night, Carter insisted, “It’s not in my character to be mean and vicious.” The GM retiree added, “I love my city,” and he said he had signed the lawsuit without thinking it through.
But the harmony didn’t last long. Councilwoman Mary Pietila first said she d bury the hatchet, then changed her mind at high volume.
