In the comments at Hoggard’s site, Greensboro 101 provided a link to WFMY’s interview with Dianne Bellamy-Small that I could download.
If I heard right, Small is claiming that her copy of the RMA report was stolen. Strange.
Meanwhile, the N&R’s Doug Clark attended yesterday’s community meeting with Mitchell Johnson to discuss the search for a new police chief. Quite the interesting exchange took place:
There were about as many media types in the Central Library meeting room as regular folks, but the real people did all the talking most of the way through until one of those TV reporters popped up with a question: How much have all these investigations cost the city?
Johnson stated that the meeting was for the purpose of getting input from citizens.
One newsman muttered that “We’re citizens, too.”
That mild protest probably wasn’t going to work. So a couple of citizens promptly piped up: “How much have you spent?”
Cornered, the manager had to answer: about $750,000.
Journalists are citizens, too? Strange, but true.
