¶18 Shoemaker began with lengthy remarks about the Ledger’s alleged censorship and the mayor’s refusal to put him on the previous agenda. He then discussed the rumors regarding the amount of the settlement of Denke’s complaint, which were inconsistent with his understanding of the settlement agreement, and the absence of any confirmation during a council meeting that the settlement had been accepted. Shoemaker suggested repeatedly that council members were “sweeping it under the rug” and “keeping it behind closed doors.” He commented that he had not heard an apology to date from either the mayor or Denke. He told the assembly that Denke had agreed with his account of what happened between her and the mayor; however, when he turned to Denke and asked her to acknowledge her supposed agreement with him, Denke refused.
