Westerly councilors considering restrictions on citizens' comments

WESTERLY — The Town Council is moving closer to implementing new restrictions on public comment during its meetings.
On Monday, the council voted 6-1 to move proposed changes to the rules of procedure it uses to run its meetings forward for consideration and a vote at a future meeting. Among the proposed changes are limitations on public comments during the council's workshop meetings and during public hearings it conducts.
The council generally reviews the rules of procedure at the start of new two-year terms. In this case, newly appointed Council President Sharon Ahern reviewed the rules and distributed the proposed changes, which the council reviewed on Monday.
