Rachel Tomas-Morgan

The Rev. Sylvester Williams Jr.'s decision stems from an extraordinarily tense meeting Thursday of the South Bend Common Council Rules Committee.

Oliver Davis held a press conference Friday in the County-City Building lobby, recounting the tense situation at Thursday's South Bend Common Council Rules Committee meeting.

Council Rules Committee Chair Rachel Tomas-Morgan stood over Council Member Oliver Davis for nearly two minutes, demanding that he sit in the audience and show her respect as chair.
