MASON CITY – A lone demonstrator picketed outside City hall in Mason City on Friday.
Phil Sanchez of Mason City, a known labor supporter and activist who has ran for and held city offices in the past, stood in front of City Hall Friday afternoon with his home made sign which read “CITIZENS SUPPORT OUR HUMAN RIGHTS OFFICE!”
Sanchez “I think we should keep the Human Rights office fully funded,” in reference to a tentative decision at a work session by the City Council to make a drastic funding cut to the agency.
“I think it’s bad,” Sanchez continued. “Some on the City Council have a vendetta … to cut City hall down to nothing.”
