This is just another way an elected official can hide and not face the tough questions that are sometimes (well, rarely) asked. The spokesperson will be well-rehearsed and only offer the limited information she is allowed, whereas a trained reporter (there are a couple left in the LV) may be able to get the DA to budge or stop stonewalling. The more obstacles between the people and the person elected, the more cause for cynicism in local government.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9299655.post-10641939261300795852021-02-05T10:13:20.192-05:002021-02-05T10:13:20.192-05:004:51, some council members were hesitant, but rele...4:51, some council members were hesitant, but relented. The DA is an independently elected official and neither council nor McClure can prevent him from running his office as he sees fit. Frankly, I think it’s a good idea for the reasons I stated.Bernie O'Harehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13756311150988957401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9299655.post-19025675707564280812021-02-05T07:41:52.283-05:002021-02-05T07:41:52.283-05:00Wasteful and unnecessary.

Terry should grow a pair and use his English words slowly and carefully. Isn't he a lawyer, for God's sake? Although, McClure's a lawyer who let's Bernie do his talking for him.
