The mayor even campaigned with the families of pregnant couple Kate Leadbetter and Matthew Field and called the 10-year jail sentence of the teenager who was driving while drunk and killed them “manifestly inadequate.”
According to Judy Lindsay, who helped host the Thursday anti-drunk driving event and whose daughter was killed in a crash involving alcohol in 2009, Williams said she wanted to make it her political “legacy” to address road safety issues likeLindsay said the mayor called her in tears on Friday night to apologize for her error, but she was unimpressed.
“[I told her], ‘We trusted you and you let us down… You’re the one supposed to be helping us to raise awareness and you’ve let us all down’,” Lindsay told 7News. “She is lucky she didn’t kill someone.” Lindsay is now calling for Mayor Williams to resign, and she isn’t alone.
