Mayor in AR: "If it's got tits, you got problems."

Maynard Police Chief catches mayor on camera talking about women’s physical assets

MAYNARD, AR (KAIT) - A former Maynard police officer says the town Mayor made sexist comments against women and it was all caught on tape by the police chief.

Some believe the Mayor needs to be removed from office. "I was in total shock. I was just totally shocked that people still think that way. And a Mayor acting in official capacity still thinks this way," said Connie Cline, who is a former part-time police officer with the Maynard Police Department.

On video Mayor Gary Hart appears to say, "If it's got tits, you got problems. You know what I'm staying? At my house, maybe not yours, but at my house, if you got tits, you got problems. (laughing)."

Those comments were made by Mayor Hart on a video during an official meeting between he and Maynard Police Chief Lonnie Cline on March 18th.

The meeting was held to discuss what the mayor expected from the police chief and the future vote on employment involving the four part-time officers. According to the police chief, the statement was aimed at the three women who sit on the city council.
