The Burlington City Council will be asked Monday to approve a resolution to censure member Tim Scott for some recent comments he made.
The comments they are referring to include one he made to local media regarding the race of the youth involved in recent altercations with the Burlington Police, also his comments at a recent council meeting in which he referred in derogatory terms to certain youth in the community, and the combination of the two incidents, which gave the impression that certain races or ages of people may not be welcome in Burlington.
In addition, the censure resolution refers to the fact that Scott threw some papers at fellow Council member Becky Anderson, an action described as intimidating and disrespectful.
The dictionary defines “censure” as to severely criticize, disapprove of, or condemn publicly.
