When elected officials speak
After all these years, I am still surprised when readers tell us they don't want to know when elected officials say silly or offensive things. I always want to know when the people elected to represent me say or do something that I might find embarrassing...or wise, for that matter.
For the record:
* The meeting he covered did result in a "real" news story that we published a day earlier.
* Gerald did not park in my parking space. I don't have a reserved space.

Personally, I'd rather you hold them accountable to their campaign promises. I'm getting rather tired hearing about how they will "FIX" this and that.
It seems that they have been promising to "FIX" things some long that now more things need really fixing.
Why not publish their promises compared to their deliveries? It would definitely make the races more fun. Especially, if it were given valuable display and web locations.

JR - Even if you had a reserved space, I wouldn't want to park there. The reporters' lot is closer to the door.
