A politician who doesn't like being asked questions?!  Who'd have thunk it!

A New Jersey mayor has taken the unique stance on banning the public from asking questions at public township council meetings.

The Philadelphia Inquirer reports that Mayor Randy Brown began the policy this year.

In the past meetings got quite fractious. One meeting in particular in December 2014 saw aresident asked about a tax abatement and the mayor spoke over the question.

The questioner, 81-year-old Kenneth Mills, told Brown, "You're acting like a jerk."

Since then, the council has allowed only public comments, not questions, at meetings.

The Republican mayor has said he may run for governor in 2017. He tells the Inquirer that most residents ask him questions in other settings. He says those who have questions at public meetings "try to turn it into the Spanish Inquisition."
