Medical emergency halts Kirby City Council vote deciding future of council member

KIRBY, TX — Kriby City Council postponed vote deciding the fate of Councilwoman Susan Street due to a medical emergency.

The Kirby City Council wants to vote Councilwoman Street off of council due to allegations of her creating a toxic work environment, abusing power, and lack of transparency. But the decision was paused when the mayor returned from an impromptu meeting and told everyone to leave due to a medical emergency. Councilwoman Street denies the allegations.

“I don’t interfere with administration,” Street said. “I don’t have an office here. I’m only here for meetings so I’m not exactly sure what’s going on with that toxic work environment. I don’t work here. I have nothing to do with the workings of the city, other than when I do my questions to the council.”

Street says she joined Kirby’s city council to improve the city’s streets. She feels she is being penalized for asking too many questions.

The city council postponed the vote deciding whether or not Street will be removed from city council to another day.
