City Commissioner Regina Hill said the charges were dropped, but wouldn’t say what happened the night of her arrest last June.
A city spokesperson said elected officials aren’t required to report arrests, and the city cannot discipline elected officials.
“Elected officials are held accountable by those who elect them,” said Ashley Papagni, a city spokesperson. “The city has no policy requiring elected officials to report arrests. Nor does the city have any authority to take disciplinary actions against an elected official.” Lawanna Gelzer, an activist and a former candidate for City Council, held a news conference in front of City Hall Wednesday denouncing the arrest and that it hadn’t been publicized, and said she may launch an effort to recall Hill, which requires signatures from 5% of legal voters in the district.
“I’m sorry to say, but enough is enough, and if we have to do a recall, we’re prepared to do a recall,” she said.“The last…year-and-a-half since that, I’ve continued to focus on taking care of the business of the people with affordable housing, building houses and helping businesses here in the Downtown District 5 corridor and working for my constituents,” Hill said.
