bizarre news from City Hall. Peggy Chapman wants to 'control' media access, with the justification of protecting the public.
It's not like our media is flourishing to the point where Bratina needs to wade through a media scrum to get to work in the morning. What's he worried about, Don McLean? All I can think of is that it stems from that article on RTH where they called out the mayor's office for double booking the mayor during the stadium negotiations. If that's what's behind it then this is one petty administration. It was Bob Bratina that stood in Hess Village with an Our City Our future T-shirt on I seem to remember.
It's weird because you'd think they already controlled access in plenty of ways, so why bring it to the surface like this? Maybe it was just a slip of the tongue, when in Rome type of thing, Chapman going right-wing while chatting with Bill Kelly.
