Paulmier responds more to Miller's allegation that police kicked him out of City Hall

Yesterday, City Paper reported that Councilwoman Donna Reed Miller says that Greg Paulmier, a candidate for the Eighth District Council seat, was recently kicked out of City Hall by police because of "his behavior." He had allegedly been asking for her endorsement.

When CP asked Paulmier about this, he denied that he had been kicked out, but offered little detail. "I don't know anything about that," he said at the time.

Today, NewsWorks reported that Paulmier denied it again, this time providing more detail:

Paulmier said it was Miller who was the unruly one, getting so loud in her displeasure with a comment Paulmier made about her that police took notice.

According to Paulmier, Civil Service Police came over and said, “‘is everything alright Greg?’” after Miller began yelling accusations at Paulmier for allegedly lying about her.“

She claimed that I had ‘lied on her,’” Paulmier said.

According to Paulmier, Miller was referring to an allegation he made last month that the reason the Chelten Plaza development in Germantown is going forward dispite widespread public opposition is because politicians like Miller are making money on it.

When reached by the phone today, Paulmier told CP he didn't have enough time to provide those details before. "I was on my way somewhere," he says.

He added that he has asked for Miller's endorsement each of the four times he's run for the Eighth District, in order to "unify the electorate."

"I'm a Quaker," says Paulmier. "We don't move forward unless there's a consensus."
