A recent city council meeting in Covington addressed the issue of foul language during discussions. The council considered whether members could face city court for bad behavior. A specific item on the agenda involved setting a fee for using profanity or disregarding the presiding officer's calls to order.

The discussion stemmed from a heated debate between the mayor and a council member. The council member had sworn under his breath during the exchange. Further details about the incident and the council's decision are available from the source.

The proposed fee for such offenses was either $150 or $250 per incident, as outlined in the meeting's agenda.
