Sounds like she's not handling leadership well.
And this from JustTheNews.com, hardly a Left-leaning news outlet.
Typically I trust Just the News with just about any story, but they’re approaching this one from the wrong direction. I’m just outside of Lynchburg, and know all of the players well.
The press conference in question was called by Helgeson and Misjuns — two “agents of chaos,” so to speak — without going through the proper council channels. Especially Misjuns — he’s not to be trusted, in any way, shape or form. And why Helgeson has hitched his wagon to Misjun’s falling star is beyond me. (Though I can also relay a juicy, first-hand personal story about Helgeson.)
Turns out, the reason for the impromptu news conference — a lawsuit over “voting irregularities” in the primary — has been dropped. I’ve yet to see Helgeson or Misjuns run to the microphone to admit they were wrong and out of line.
How “Republican” is she?
>>Sounds like she’s not handling leadership well.
Or, perhaps, she’s just treating the press like the enemy that they are.
Reed said. “The chamber is closed, the meeting is over. It has been adjourned, there was no request for a press conference. It can be done outside of the chamber.”

The press wasn’t muzzled. They were just moved outside the chamber. I don’t see anything wrong with that.
Not guilty. After the makeup is washed off.
Seriously, the headline is at best misleading it appears to be very inaccurate.
There may very well be something in the city bylaws that prohibits council members holding press conferences in that room without a quorum and a meeting. In any case all they had to do is step outside the door and talk with the press as long as they liked.
