Did City Council need to pause Public Inquiries, or did they just need to pause Councillor Neustaeter?
Neustaeter Absent From March Meetings
Public meetings in March 2025 were noticeably different from past meetings. There was a little less conflict in the air and the meetings seemed to move along quicker and smoother.
Monologues Not Missed
Neustaeter is well known for her seemingly endless monologues and run-on sentences. While Council may claim meetings have improved without Public Inquiries, I suggest meetings are quicker when we donโt have to listen to Neustaeterโs painfully long comments and questions. Her extended words of praise for presenters arenโt missed either.
Lacking Authenticity
The first time I heard Neustaeter praise a presenter, I was rather impressed by how authentic she sounded.
As time went by I was saddened to learn that she delivers praise with the authenticity of a wannabe porn star. Her words now feel as hollow as the letters of thanks the Council has the staff send out.
During these tedious monologues I often wonder โAre you done yet?โ.
Princess Monologue
Neustaeter had already earned the often used nickname โPrincessโ. As with wicked witches, it is important to be clear which princess one is referring to. โPrincess Thorn in the Mayorโs Sideโ is a little long, as is โPrincess Get to the Pointโ, so weโve gone with the simpler โPrincess Monologueโ.ย
And that dear reader is how Councillor Keturah (Katie) Neustaeter came to be known far and wide as Princess Monologue.
