According to an email obtained Thursday, it appears that the Antioch Public Information Officer is set to have comments disabled on city of Antioch social media platforms.
The email was sent by Rolando Bonilla, who is contracted at $8k per month, from the City of Antioch sent an email to City Manager Con Johnson stating the change would happen and that Antioch Mayor Lamar Thorpe is declaring a state of emergency related to the recent storms.
“I’ve copied all of the appropriate staff who manage the City’s social media. Please ensure comments are disabled” said Bonilla in the email.
The email also stated the upcoming annual Martin Luther King Day of Service is being cancelled.
If and when Antioch social media platforms are disabled for commenting, residents and followers of pages would no longer be able to respond to city issued postings. This would include interactions by the Antioch Police Department with residents, public works, parks and recreation and from the city hall account. It would also carry over to other city of Antioch social media pages.
This comes a day after Antioch Mayor Lamar Thorpe was accused by the city clerk Ellie Householder for deleting her comments on his social media page and while blocking her.
