Accusations of Ageism and Discrimination Against Shasta County Supervisor
REDDING, Calif. —
During the public comment time of the Shasta County Supervisors Meeting, accusations of ageism and discrimination were made against Supervisor Kevin Crye. In response, Crye claimed that these accusations were politically motivated.
Private Conversation Sparks Controversy
It is agreed that Supervisor Crye had a private conversation with Judy Salter at the end of last week’s board meeting. However, the content and tone of the conversation are subjects of debate.
Before the meeting, an email was circulated by a group called “Your Recall Team,” containing a quote from Ms. Salter. The quote alleged that Supervisor Crye told her she was too old to be involved in political matters or anything else, and that her time had passed. The email invited Salter to make a statement at the meeting, providing suggested speaking points.
Public Outcry and Calls for Inclusivity
During the public comment period, several individuals, including Ms. Salter herself, spoke out against Supervisor Crye’s alleged ageist and sexist remarks. Salter emphasized the need for a more inclusive and respectful political environment that values diversity, including age.
One speaker accused Crye of denigrating and insulting Salter based on her age, dismissing her as worthless in the political and community arenas. Another commenter expressed their appallment at Crye’s dismissal of the contributions made by senior citizens.
Supervisor Crye Responds
In response to the accusations, Supervisor Crye claimed that this was an attack by the group working to recall him. He explained that during the conversation, he mentioned his own age of 47 and expressed his desire to use his remaining time on Earth to do something good. He then assumed Salter’s age to be around 60 or 70, to which she corrected him by stating she was 75. Crye believes the situation was blown out of proportion by those attempting to recall him, who sensationalize everything they can.
Code of Conduct Consideration
During the same meeting, the board voted 3-2 in favor of exploring the adoption of a code of conduct for future meetings.
