Don't Mess with Women

I've been following this story for a while now. Never did I believe this jerk almost got away with it. The women stopped it, though. Good pic at the link. Shows what can happen when people organize.

The Montclair Township Council, yielding to an intensely angry group of mostly female residents, voted on Tuesday to start the termination process for Township Manager Timothy Stafford, the subject of two lawsuits and two sworn statements by female municipal employees alleging abuse.

The 5-0 vote was an abrupt reversal of the 5-1 vote in October to put him on paid leave, despite calls by the public then for his removal. In recent days, it seemed the council was, in fact, poised to reinstate him.



The vote came after two hours of impassioned public comment punctuated by jeers, shouts of “Me Too” and “Recall the mayor,” and signs held aloft accusing the council of misogyny.

During a break, a petition circulated to recall Mayor Sean Spiller.

The line to speak at the Montclair town council meeting, after which the council voted to start the process for removing manager Tim Stafford, snaked through council chambers. February 8, 2023.
The vast majority of those who spoke were women, many of whom said they were in disbelief that the town leadership would be thinking of reinstating a man who was accused of abuse by multiple female employees.
