(Atlantic, Iowa) (Updated 10/21)- An Atlantic man spoke during the public forum portion of Wednesday evening’s Atlantic City Council meeting, and took Councilman Dick Casady to task for comments he made at a meeting two weeks ago. Justin Masker  – who resides on E. 21st Street – asked Casady to apologize for suggesting persons with vulgar signs (or flags) on their property and refuse to remove them – should be denied any requests they make to the Council in the future….

Masker said the theme he’s heard and comments he’s read from politicians, is for Americans to “comply,” in a Quid-Pro-Quo fashion (i.e.: “you to this and we’ll do that’).

He told Casady “You proved me wrong by saying something.”

He reminded Casady that an elected official works for the people, not the other way around.

Casady did not offer a response to Masker’s statements. In other business, the Atlantic City Council, Wednesday, approved a schedule of Adoption Fees for the Atlantic Animal Shelter. The current adoption fees for cats is $10.00, with an additional $55.00 to $130.00 for veterinary costs. For dogs, adoption fees are $25.00, with an additional $60.00 to $265.00 for vet fees. The resolution moves the fees to a flat rate, $100.00 for cats and $200.00 for dogs.
