I see a lot of angry people and believe me is not because of the mayor!!!
I see a lot of frustration and deception that out hospital is still closed!
A lot of broken promises and no results in fact a lot of SMOKE!!!

Jealous of what? Carlton is rude to so many people, he just bit off more than he can chew by attacking AG the way he did.

You should have watched the meeting it wasn’t just a “few very angry” people.

Unbelievable, the Mayor is loved and respected by the majority of us and some of these negative comments are becoming very familiar. We have in Tulare a few very hangry and frustrated people in our community. All jealousy!

I served on the city council for two terms (8 years). The council is elected by the people and the mayor is elected by the council. Election of mayor is every 2 years, following the election of council members. The mayor has no more power than any individual council member. The mayor does not have the power to remove items from the agenda, just as individual council members do not have that power. There has been no change for many years to the city charter which dictates how the city does business. I encourage all council members and especially Mr. Jones to read this charter, so they know the rules. I know of no other city, under charter rule that allows the mayor to remove items from agenda. I urge Mr. Jones to do what is right for the health of our city. Certain businesses have already been notified that as long as Mr. Jones is mayor they will not buy their products in Tulare. I urge Mr. Jones to step down as mayor to ensure the city can move forward. Mr. Jones has over 2 years left on his city council term. To all council members….Do the right thing for the city….that’s why we elected you!

I have lived in Tulare for well over 70 years and you can believe me that Tulare most certainly has had its fair share of problems since its earliest beginnings. Read up on the history of Tulare; the good, the bad, and the ugly stories of yore all the way up through this decade. Tulare is rich with many stories about the town and the movers and shakers who made an impact one way or another.

I remember when things were so much simpler in Tulare. We never had any problems before.

Carlton Jones is clearly despised by a majority of the community. He has demonstrated his arrogance and lack of integrity numerous times by removing his name from the council agenda for his potential removal. Carlton is unethical, inexperienced, uneducated, unqualified and needs to resign himself from the position to spare this city from the chaos and potential liability. !!

Better not criticize the man, or you will be sued for discrimination!
