Mayor Pushes Rules to Calm Rowdy Council Meetings | Virginia Beach News
Description
Virginia Beach City Council meetings are turning chaotic, prompting Mayor Bobby Dyer to push for stricter rules on public behavior. During a heated hearing over selling the city’s golf course — which would become 650 homes and a childcare center — supporters faced boos and heckling while opponents got cheers, creating a tense, disruptive environment. Though the council voted 9-2 to approve the sale, the unruly atmosphere risked scaring off future participants. To fix it, Dyer plans to introduce an updated speaker policy modeled after Norfolk and Portsmouth, aiming to preserve free speech while enforcing civility — not censorship.
