Nobody seems willing or able to explain whatever happened to those nifty news conferences the City Council planned in a quest for more glasnost at City Hall.

Odds are you'll find Jimmy Hoffa first.

Truth be told, the weekly news conferences probably weren't all that practical or necessary anyway. There would have likely not been a lot to talk about on some weeks.

But to say you're going to do them, then renege, then not say why, does not exactly elevate the council's credibility or trust quotient.

One council member privately suggested that enough people probably decided they didn't want to do the conferences, so they didn't.

Democracy at work.
