MASON CITY – Mason City mayoral candidate Quinn Symonds attended Tuesday night’s City Council meeting after hearing City Council member Travis Hickey comparing services from City Hall to a McDonald’s restaurant.
“I heard on the TV that City Hall is now a McDonald’s,” Symonds said as he entered the Mason City room at the library where the Council meeting was being held.
“I need some context here,” he said.
Mr. Symonds stuck around to make a few remarks at the public forum before NIT caught up with him after the Council meeting, granting him an interview.
Touching on a range of issues, Symonds said Mayor Eric Bookmeyer’s campaign message that challengers to incumbents in this year’s City elections are “nonsense” is “ridiculous.”
