To the City Commission and Mayor Fournier:

On Monday, May 19, 2025, the City Commission voted to adopt a highly controversial Master Plan—despite the overwhelming opposition of hundreds of residents who showed up to voice their concerns. This plan, once paired with rewritten zoning ordinances, poses a direct threat to our neighborhoods, small businesses, and even the Royal Oak Golf Course.

Public input was systematically deflected through a hired consultant with a radical agenda. Months of resident feedback were ignored, and the plan was rushed through with minimal notice and transparency. This was not community engagement, it was a performance!

As usual, the Commission relied on unfounded narratives to justify their actions. Mayor Fournier delivered yet another condescending lecture, insisting that he and the commissioners know better than the very residents who fund this city with their tax dollars. When citizens exercised their First Amendment rights to speak out, the mayor responded with “recess-style” timeouts, claiming that Robert’s Rules of Order somehow override the Constitution.

This Commission has become adept at spinning stories, silencing dissent, and celebrating decisions that benefit developers and political donors—while disregarding the voices of half the population.

This is not leadership. It’s a betrayal of public trust.

Stay tuned. This fight is far from over.
