Considering the Mad As Hell group's venue, Harbour Towers Hotel, has received threats and cancelled the event in its conference space Mayor Helps should offer the council chambers for the meeting.
At the very least she must publicly denounce the threats, not just in a media interview, and assure us that VicPD will do its best to track down the individual(s) resposible.
Perhaps she is too busy making the threats to denounce them. It's not that she's bad, she's desperate.
