Monday evening, the city of Bonifay held their regularly scheduled city council meeting.
To avoid being escorted out of the room, similar to how many were last city meeting, many people brought protest signs to the meeting. Signs read sayings such as “Get a real mayor,” and “Larry Crook.”
“Mayor Cook needs to step down, and I would like to ask the council to remove him,” said James Russell. Macon sent a copy of the letter to News4, and the last section reads that he could ask to be put on the agenda, but must reach out to someone to be put on there. Macon said he never asked to be put on the agenda, and fears he was left on it to make it seem like he bailed on the city and its citizens.
“I hope they continue to fight for their rights and get corruption out of Bonifay, because it definitely needs to be gone,” said Macon.
