Shouting could be heard from beyond the walls of Calumet City’s closed-door session Thursday as Mayor Thaddeus Jones sparred with an alderman over management of the City Council agenda.
Calumet City 6th Ward Ald. James Patton, left, and Mayor Thaddeus Jones, far right, argue during the May 9, 2024 council meeting.
The disagreement started shortly after the aldermen came out of the evening’s first executive session, when 6th Ward Ald. James Patton accused the mayor of illegally removing items that he proposed for the agenda. Patton says he submitted a motion last week for his colleagues to consider, dismissing a particular lawsuit involving the city. He referenced the suit by listing its coded name — a list of numbers and letters intended to conceal specifics about the legal issue.
“I am not violating anything,” Patton replied. “You specifically told me this would not be added to the agenda for tonight’s meeting. I was proper in my request to add it to the agenda for this meeting. You are in violation of city ordinance by not adding it to the agenda.”
