Yahoo! News - Nameplate Switch Disrupts Council Meeting: "Wed Oct 6, 5:01 PM ET NITRO, W.Va. - A city councilwoman refused to take her seat because someone switched her nameplate with another council member and glued them down, leading the mayor to order the police chief to find the culprit.
Brenda Tyler refused to take her seat for Tuesday's meeting, said City Recorder Joan McClanahan. Councilman Tim Harrison tried to make a point of order about the seating arrangements, but Mayor Rusty Casto refused to recognize it until all regular business on the agenda was discussed.
Casto called the meeting 'the worst one I've seen in 25 years as mayor or a councilman.'
If the culprit is a city employee, he or she will be suspended for three days, Casto said.
McClanahan said many people use the council chambers, and it's not uncommon to find the nameplates moved.
'We will not be able to do anything for this city until we can resolve our own problems and not carry on childish and petty arguments,' McClanahan said. "
