周二晚上,当地市议会会议上围绕市长宣布推翻罗伊诉韦德案的声明展开了激烈辩论。
MONROE, N.C. — There was some fiery debate at a local city council meeting Tuesday night over a proclamation from the mayor honoring the reversal of Roe v. Wade.
北卡罗来纳州门罗——周二晚上,当地市议会会议上就市长宣布推翻罗伊诉韦德案的声明展开了激烈辩论。
Now, Mayor Robert Burns is in hot water and the City of Monroe is changing how it makes similar moves in the future.
现在,罗伯特·伯恩斯市长陷入了困境,门罗市正在改变未来采取类似举措的方式。
The controversy began several weeks ago when Mayor Burns issued a proclamation on June 24 commemorating the two-year anniversary of the Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade. There was backlash from some residents on social media and support from others.
这场争议始于几周前,当时伯恩斯市长于 6 月 24 日发布公告,纪念最高法院推翻罗伊诉韦德案两周年。一些居民在社交媒体上表示强烈反对,但也得到了其他人的支持。
Some of those supporters could be heard in the video of Tuesday’s council meeting, which got heated when several councilors motioned to strip some powers from the mayor’s office -- including his ability to form committees.
在周二市议会会议的视频中可以听到其中一些支持者的声音,当几名议员提议剥夺市长办公室的一些权力——包括他组建委员会的权力时,会议变得激烈起来。
“So why is that not an item on the agenda?” asked Mayor Pro Tem David Dotson.
“那么为什么这没有列入议程呢?”临时市长大卫·多特森问道。
“Why does it need to be an item on the agenda?” responded Councilmember Julie Thompson.
“为什么它需要成为议程上的一个项目?”市议员朱莉·汤普森回答道。
“Because the public has a right to know what you’re here to talk about,” Dotson replied.
“因为公众有权知道你在这里谈论什么,”多特森回答道。
Thompson then attempted to explain the procedure, finishing her comments with “I really don’t appreciate the interrogation.”
汤普森随后试图解释整个程序,并以“我真的不喜欢审讯”结束她的评论。
Burns told Channel 9′s Evan Donovan he knew the proclamation would alienate some of Monroe’s residents.
伯恩斯告诉第九频道的埃文·多诺万,他知道这一公告会疏远门罗的一些居民。
“I unapologetically am pro-life: from the womb to the tomb, as we say,” he said.
“我毫无歉意地支持生命:正如我们所说,从子宫到坟墓,”他说。
Burns claims he cleared the proclamation through the city’s attorneys -- as he’d done previously -- and even removed some language, including Bible verses. Burns said proclamations do not represent the city’s view, just his.
伯恩斯声称,他通过该市律师批准了该公告——就像他之前所做的那样——甚至删除了一些语言,包括圣经经文。伯恩斯表示,公告并不代表该市的观点,仅代表他的观点。
“It’s never represented the entire city, it’s never,” he said. “How does putting out a proclamation about someone’s birthday represent an entire city? Right? And so I am representing a group of people who voted for me.”
“它从来没有代表整个城市,从来没有,”他说。 “发布一个关于某人生日的公告如何代表整个城市?正确的?所以我代表一群投票给我的人。”
Some people who did not vote for Burns have posted their opposition on social media. One trans woman, Kara Murphy, said Burns is the mayor and should represent everyone in Monroe.
一些没有投票给伯恩斯的人在社交媒体上发表了反对意见。一位跨性别女性卡拉·墨菲 (Kara Murphy) 表示,伯恩斯是市长,应该代表门罗的每个人。
“It’s sucking up all the oxygen out of the room,” she said. “People want to be able to go to their city council meeting and hear about development, or land use, or law enforcement, or education, or anything else that they might actually be involved in that isn’t, you know, these big culture war issues.”
“它吸走了房间里所有的氧气,”她说。 “人们希望能够参加市议会会议,了解开发、土地使用、执法、教育或他们可能实际参与的任何其他事情,但你知道,这些大文化之外的事情战争问题。”
Burns understands the criticism -- but said that’s not him.
伯恩斯理解这些批评,但他说那不是他。
“They believe that in city government, it should be more neutral. And I personally have no idea how to be neutral. And that is my stance on everything,” he said.
“他们认为市政府应该更加中立。我个人不知道如何保持中立。这就是我对一切的立场,”他说。
Council voted to censure Burns, which North Carolina law describes as an “official condemnation for inappropriate or illegal actions committed by a public official while holding a position of trust.”
委员会投票谴责伯恩斯,北卡罗来纳州法律将其描述为“对公职人员在担任受信任职位时所犯不当或非法行为的正式谴责”。
Council also voted to remove the ability of the mayor’s office to form committees or issue proclamations without the approval of council.
市议会还投票决定取消市长办公室在未经市议会批准的情况下组建委员会或发布公告的能力。
After the vote, Mayor Burns posted on Facebook that he regrets nothing.
投票结束后,伯恩斯市长在脸书上发帖表示,他并不后悔。
“A line in the sand has been drawn,” he said. “Unfortunately it had to be done this way. Now you all know... You are worth it Monroe. Our future is brighter than ever. We have a ton of work to do. Let’s go! I am #monroestrong.”
“已经划定了一条线,”他说。 “不幸的是,它必须以这种方式完成。现在你们都知道了……门罗,你值得。我们的未来比以往任何时候都更加光明。我们有大量工作要做。我们走吧!我是#monroestrong。”
