The latest quarrel between Red Bank’s mayor and vice mayor may threaten effective city government, officials say.
“Nobody can get along,” said Red Bank City Commissioner Ruth Jeno. “We’re there for the city of Red Bank. We can’t act like third-graders, we need to work like adults.”
While Mayor Joe Glasscock and Vice Mayor Monty Millard have had problems since the two ran against each other for a commission seat in 2003, the most recent disagreement took place Tuesday at a City Commission meeting.
Mr. Millard said he and Commissioner Floy Pierce were shut out of several recent community events, including a private political reception for Hamilton County Commissioner Fred Skillern.
Mr. Glasscock said the reception was announced at a March 16 public meeting and that Mr. Millard was “not paying attention.”
