Interview with Third District City Councilwoman Melissa Robinson we discuss the hiring of Brian Pratt. Mayor Quinton Lucas introduced legislation Thursday recommending Platt to the council, which then approved the appointment 9-4. Some information became available at the last minute concerning discrimination complaints out of Mr. Pratt’s last job. So the black council members along with Councilwoman Kathryn Sheilds voted to hold off on signing a contract until the next council meeting that would allow them to look into/ investigate the racial discrimination allegations.
