The city of Westminster is suing two sitting City Council members for allegedly disrupting meetings. The city's suit claims that Councilmembers Amy Phan West and NamQuan Nguyen create a “dysfunctional and raucous” atmosphere that prevents important items from being considered and voted on during meetings, as reported by LAist.
“The Mayor has been unable to manage their unruly behavior, and repeated efforts to obtain their compliance have failed,” the lawsuit explains, as reported by the outlet. “As a result, the City Council has ended meetings without accomplishing its business, met late into the night, and generally frustrated those interested in responsible, effective conduct of City meetings.”
