Is it becasue there is a pastor involved? Your guess is as good as mine. Maybe it's because a reporter was contacted or he contacted the reporter. Have you seen the story? As for full reporting: maybe the reporter just thought that the statement of the director on this was just talk. It certainly has more news value, IMO, than what the director you commented on said.

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: Actually I went by Marty's home this morning and there was no trailer there. The story in the Times does not say a word about Marty's comment during the meeting that he would have a trailer in his driveway the next day. So much for full and complete reporting. However, why is this particular trailer more newsworthy than any of the other violations brought for board action that aren't covered by the local media? Is it becasue there is a pastor involved? I did find your quote in the story of some interest. "Unfortunately, some violations are minor and cause no harm," Rakow said. "But the rules are the rules. We don't want to start allowing people to put their small trailers all over Ocean Pines. Regardless of what's inside it, it is a box trailer." Abent's trailer is "minor and causes "no harm?" Sounds like a good quote for someone in the future to take to court. |
