Scottsdale Mayor Responds To Councilman Phillips' Protest Remark

Press release from the City of Scottsdale:

June 24, 2020

"Councilman Phillips comments at his anti-mask protest rally today at City Hall do not represent the values of our Scottsdale community. I share the profound disappointment expressed by many residents at the words Mr. Phillips chose– to use the phrase “I can’t breathe” during this moment in time was callous and insensitive. I sincerely hope he understands how wrong that was and offers a sincere apology.”

W.J. “Jim” Lane
Mayor
