At Tuesday’s Lancaster City Council meeting, council members Gonzie Mackey, Kenny Hood and Tamara Green Garris got into a testy exchange with Mayor John Howard about his recent stroke and an earlier council vote. After the heated words, Garris, the mayor pro tem, tried to calm the waters. “We want to be respectful towards each other,” she said, “and we don’t want the public to think we’re up here fussing and fighting all the time.”
