This is how readers of theday.com reacted to news that fellow board members were trying to remove Kathleen Mitchell from the New London Housing Authority.

“The Rumble in the Jungle 2018 version.” —Riverroad33

“The story reads, ‘Mitchell claims the attempt to remove her is a reaction to her calls for better transparency and criticism of the board’s alignment with the agenda of the mayor’s office.’ We all know that (Mayor) Passero and his administration avoid any transparency and lack integrity and honor. Mitchell was one of Passero’s ardent supporters.” —Concerned Citizen 12

“CC12, well said. Mitchell and the mayor were good buddies, talked daily and he used her to build support for motions he wanted passed and supported by the public. Passero will not remove her without having somebody else to blame. She has too much dirt on him.” —Tatertots

“Didn’t Passero appoint her? How can he now fire her? He knew who Kathleen Mitchell was when he appointed her. Hell, he worked with her on campaigns in the past. Everyone knows who she is and how she operates. Every reader of the Day has been following her nonsense for over 20 years. It’s like he appointed Kathleen Mitchell to public office only to now act shocked that Kathleen Mitchell showed up to do the job.” —Merlin2001

“Squeaky wheels like Ms. Mitchell are the only thing keeping anything above board. I don’t agree with some of what she says but don’t allow them to shut her up.” —Maryanne01

“It used to be when you stood up to the establishment, spoke the truth and made sense, you could rally people to make change for the better. Now you are labeled disruptive and combative and hard to work with. We don’t have enough people like Kathleen in this world.” —FedUpWith Politicians
