Angry Portsmouth citizens speak out against city council after two dramatic meetings

After voting 4-3 to fire the former city manager and appoint a former police chief in the role, citizens told council members they are tired of the "petty politics."

This is what we need to do. Speak up

[@OGJaquarPrincess]

How can you be both city manager and police chief?

[@allusionsxp2606]

She is a FORMER chief

Is 13 News willing to post the City of Portsmouth’s official job requirements for the position of city manager and also post MS. Chapman’s college degree(s) along with their school’s names? Unless you choose, please don’t post her G.P.A. As a $200,000 per year public servant, the public has the right to view a complete list of her college degrees to compare those with the basic/minimum job requirements for Portsmouth’s City Manager. Thank you

Felon Whitaker should have never been back on City council. We can thank old lady Lucas for handling Governor black face Northam to get that pardon.

[@SightsSoundsFlavors]

Mr. Whitaker is a political visionary and should be the mayor!!
