LCDC Not Speaking To Press, Souza

Item: LCDC director, activist spar over records request /Tom Hasslinger, CdA Press

More Info: Lake City Development Corp. Executive Director Tony Berns said Monday he will only conduct interviews with The Press through email. The decision comes after a dispute between the agency and one of its bigger critics, Mary Souza, regarding a public records request in which the newspaper had become involved. Berns didn’t say the paper’s inquiry into the dispute played a role in his decision, but said Monday it’s his preference to do interviews through email in the future, which had not been a previous policy.

Question: What do you make of this flap?
