Update, 10:48PM: Mayor Bruce Williams announced at the close of the Nov. 3 meeting that counclimember Clay, who had to be assisted from the council dais at the beginning of tonight's city council meeting, has been "checked out," apparently meaning that she had been examined by a doctor at a hospital.
He further hinted that Clay has continuing medical issues, stating that she has "things she needs to pay a little attention to," but he said she was expected to be released and able to go home by tomorrow by the latest. He said that she may even have been released by the time he made the announcement.
8:15PM: (revised) Councilmember Colleen Clay, Ward 2 representative, had to be assisted from the council dais at the start of the Nov. 3 Takoma Park City Council meeting. Appearing pale-face, complaining of a rapid heartbeat, and saying "I have to go!" she was helped from the room by a number of concerned-looking people including a police officer. The meeting was halted for around 15 minutes, Mayor Bruce Williams explaining first that Councilmember Clay had been feeling ill for a couple of days.
When the council returned it was to say that Clay was being tended in another part of the building and had asked the Mayor to continue without her.
