DECORUM WATCH:

Ward 7 Councillor Esther Pauls is asking questions regarding Council's deferral procedures. She is being heckled from the other side. I saw Kroetsch making comments. There was another comment, not from Kroetsch, that I missed. #yhmcc #DecorumWatch

Hamilton councillors are bickering amongst themselves right now. I cannot hear clearly. #yhmcc #DecorumWatch

Francis accuses the Mayor of "chirping" at him.
Clr Maureen Wilson confirms that Mayor Horwath did "chirp" at Francis.

[I am too far back in the public gallery to hear the "chirp"] (2/2) #yhmcc #DecorumWatch #HamOnt

Hamilton City Council's meeting is now stopped as Ward 5 Clr Matt Francis and Mayor Andrea Horwath publicly accuse each other of acting unprofessionally.
In the Chair, Ward 1 Clr Maureen Wilson asks for everyone to focus on the budget work at hand. #yhmcc #HamOnt #DecorumWatch (1/2)

Hamilton City Council is caught up in a bunch of "point of order" calls in the middle of a motion by Spadafora to defacto freeze new hires.
Francis, Spadafora threw up hands in disagreement with Chair Kroetsch.
Kroetsch told them not to. Francis/Kroetsch had a back and forth. #yhmcc
