Kasich Trying To Force Reporters Silence On Budget


David Potts - Posted on 14 March 2011

The unbelievable audacity of John Kasich continues. This time, his staff is trying to impose strict rules about how journalists can cover tomorrow’s budget briefing. According to the Governor’s Office, there can be no video recording and audio can only be used to verify facts for print stories.

I sincerely hope that journalists will refuse to abide by this order. If someone does happen to get some forbidden coverage of Kasich’s briefing they don’t want to be publicly associated with, I pledge to publish it anonymously, no questions asked.

Should the Governor’s Office have any complaints, I know exactly where they can file them.
