I watched the recording of the Dec. 3 Eden Prairie City Council meeting and thank EPLN for covering the discussion on property taxes. However, I think you downplayed the reprehensible nature of comments about hanging our mayor by residents John Miller and Steve Wagner. Hanging is lynching; it is violent murder. Such implied threats are shocking to me, even if meant as a joke.
Readers can view this exchange and Mayor Ron Case’s spot-on reply in the meeting video, starting at 49 minutes and ending at 58 minutes.
