The city should do a better job respecting media.
Unrelated in some ways to the proceedings, but there are two full empty rows of seating in chambers, both of which at one point served as media seating. We got moved back the week after I overheard the mayor threaten Coun. Bierk. Also, municipal enforcement staff are in chambers this evening.
