"A censure resolution is just for show," said Leonard.
In fact, Letalien said none of the 25 council members he e-mailed contacted him to support introducing his censure motion at this Sunday's meeting.
But at the same time, he said no one has contacted him to say that there shouldn't be a censure at all.
Letalien must convince nine other council members to sign onto the resolution before it can be placed before the council.
Letalien said others dissuaded him from airing his displeasure in a letter to The Crimson before the impeachment trial because they feared it might distract people from the issue at hand. But now that the council has ruled on Burton's impeachment, he said he thinks it is best to resolve the dispute with Driskell as soon as possible--preferably by Driskell saying that she is sorry.
Both sides agree that if they cannot achieve closure to this issue, the council will surely suffer as a result.
"[Driskell's] ability to lead is seriously compromised until she comes to terms with this," Letalien said.
Driskell said she does not dispute the importance of building good relations with Letalien and others.
