Does the Good Councilor Need Counseling?

It is not the first time that Goodin has thrown a temper tantrum. In April 2018, the politician fell out with Mayor Wagner, resulting in harsh criticism of his leadership style. That disparagement of the incoming municipal leader unfolded during a lengthy social media post in which Goodin claimed to have lost all confidence in Mayor Wagner, whom he said does not listen and heed advice. The pair made amends in mid-May, however, their relationship has been rocky.

“We need to see that, weh yo woulda call commitment and effort on his part.  I have done my part my good friends, I have done my part.  I have sat many hours with this young man.  You all know the outburst that he did with me, I didn’t say anything, I listened, I brought him in back.  We passed some initiatives, he did great work, but this thing just came up back again and as a leader or as the leader of this time I can’t have one person to be bringing down the team.”

“Sir, are we witnessing what would be called a pattern of behaviour insofar as brash, impetuous, rude, unacceptable behaviour within a civil organization and always triggered by money in that area.”
