Subject of emergency alert message arrested - May 2, 2024 | SaltWire #dartmouth #update #suspectWOODSTOCK, N.B. — A frustrated Woodstock Mayor, Trina Jones, blamed the media and social media for the public backlash surrounding the town’s policy changes, leading to the discontinuation of displaying Pride banners in downtown Woodstock.
During her address at the council meeting, Jones expressed reluctance to discuss the matter further with the press outside a scheduled in-depth interview. “If any of the press are simply looking for a 30-second sound bite from me, please don’t contact me for a follow up on this."The mayor’s reluctance to field questions starkly contrasted with most meetings, during which she, councillors, and staff make themselves readily available after the meeting.
She explained that a previous council had begun erecting the Pride banners several years ago after it realized rainbow crosswalks proved ineffective and costly.
