Jan Thompson: the minutes negate a sentence the recording does not (“nor”)
Says something differentBoth records carry the same sentence, but they disagree on a number or on whether it was negative. The same sentence appears in both records, but the minutes contain “nor” where the recording has no negation. Around: “informed that these were going to happen nor were asked for their blessing”.
What the minutes say
Jan Thompson, Member of the Public said I am a person of faith and as a person of faith that I want to add my name to others who have already spoken regarding separation of church and state. I am aware of two instances that occurred within the last couple of months that violate the separation of church and state principle. I doubt very seriously that council was informed that these were going to happen nor were asked for their blessing regarding them, but I will hold council responsible for ensuring that this stops.
What the recording says
Thank you for your consideration. Good afternoon, mayor, mayor pro tem, and council. My name is Jan Thompson.

I doubt very seriously that council was informed that these were going to happen or were asked for their blessing regarding them, but I will hold council responsible for ensuring that this stops. Thank you. Good afternoon, city council and mayor. My name is Victor
