It's no secret some of the best reality TV in our area comes from Colwyn Borough in Delaware County, but the mayor really didn't call one of his colleagues the "b" word. And we have the video that backs him up.
Another local media outlet reported Mayor Michael Blue hurled that obscenity at Councilwoman Patricia Williams Thursday night when the two got into a heated public argument over the firing of Colwyn's city manager Paula Brown and how to handle that position moving forward.
The video of their exchange is posted at the top of this report. Listen for yourself. The words in question come right at the top of the video where Mayor Blue yells "Let me tell you something, Patricia." Blue said the media outlet that got it wrong didn't bother to call him.
Williams also agrees Blue did not use that obscenity when addressing her and says she has her own recording of the meeting.
The arguing was over the city manager position which council voted months ago to eliminate. The mayor vetoed their vote and some members of council believe that vote was invalid.
Former borough manager Brown contends she was a whistleblower exposing misspending by Colwyn officials.
