‘I’ll have to pay for that later’
The sign outside the council conference room advises visitors to turn off their cell phones.
But sometimes people forget. Sometimes, even councilman forget.
Just a few minutes into today’s council work session, Councilman Bryan McIntire’s cell phone chimed out the familiar opening bars of Beethoven’s 5th Symphony.
“What does Mrs. McIntire have to say,” Council Chairman Kevin Kamenetz joked.
It is not unusual for McIntire’s wife to call during a work session meeting.
“Out of deference to you, I’m not going to answer it,” McIntire said as he silenced his phone. “I’ll have to pay for that later.”
