Dear Friends on the Council,
You are all people I respect. I also respect and value our local paper, Sebastopol Times, for its excellent journalism.
I personally am concerned in this time of the federal government becoming increasingly inaccessible, such as not allowing AP!!! to their briefings. Our local governemnt needs to do all it can to counter balance that.
Please re-examine the status of how reporters access city council, staff and others so that we can model a fair and open government, rather than hiding in fear.
