At the bottom of the agenda for this week’s city council meeting, a new rule was slipped in, which reads “Please note flash photography is not allowed during the meeting”.
NIT became aware of the rule after city councilman Alex Kuhn phoned and pointed out the ban, imposed by Trout. Kuhn claimed he didn’t know how the rule came about and said he just noticed it was there as he re-read his council packet in preparation for tonight’s meeting – which could be heavily attended.
NIT questioned city hall on the ban, and Brent Trout replied, saying “In my opinion flash photography is disruptive to the conduct of the meeting”.
Trout didn’t elaborate on how the ban would be enforced.
why is all this written about 11 on the page about flash photography instead of the story about the council meetings??
Just one big pisser contest.Everyone in this town has become just a bunch on candy *ss whiners.I’ve lived here for 40yrs you idiots look like kids on elementry playground.Grow up you silly paper pushers who have never had a backbreaking job to have any kind of character and it REALLY shows, you just have your nose up so far up you can’t relate.
So Pete, now you’re writing Matt’s stories for him. After all the names and shit you’ve done to him. Go away, and stay away. No one wants you here.
When all else fails and your back is against the wall bring in the clowns (the Priest). How discusting and beneath his calling as a Priest to engage in this pi$$ing contest. Ten Hail Marys Father Joe.
They played the race (Greek) card and they lost. Father Joe is no better than Father Al Sharpton. Baklava for all my brothers! Opa
They better make Skipper wear a hat then, so the glare off his dome doesn’t distract them then.
Good one! I needed a good laugh! Thank You!
And since we are talking about photography, the picture you took of Trout (above) looks like a deer caught in headlights. Maybe that’s why flash has been outlawed. Priceless!
Obviously trout doesn’t know to much about photography. You don’t need a flash at all unless it’s really dark. Ha too funny!
So if you use a flash what happens????
Matt, do you use a flash camera when you cover city Council meetings? Just wondering if they are trying to make it harder for you to cover the meetings? Love the picture of Trout by the way!
Most cameras and phones don’t need a flash anymore unless it’s really dark.
I can understand why he put this in. I would think they can take pictures before and after the meeting unless they are the media and filming the meeting. Flash pictures can be disruptive.
