Council votes to postpone discussion on ending Lincoln mayor’s emergency powers
The Lincoln City Council was split Monday on whether to table a discussion about ending Mayor Leirion Gaylor Baird's emergency powers. 
January 11, 2021 5:17 pm
Gaylor Baird declared a state of emergency in March related to the coronavirus pandemic.
The declaration was approved the same day by the City Council, which also approved an extension beyond the 72-hours allowed by city code.
Councilman Bennie Shobe said he thinks there’s confusion among Lincoln residents about what the emergency declaration allows the mayor to do.
“We tend to see people in our community confusing the power of the DHM and the federal funding,” he said. “I was hoping for a public hearing so we could teach the public the difference. The emergency declaration doesn’t affect the DHM and most people don’t understand that.”
