Protocol for guests

by Ari Herzog on March 13, 2008 · 0 comments

A Daily News story about Mr. Karp’s visit tomorrow to the city includes the following sentence:

The mayor said that when there is a guest to the city it is proper protocol and etiquette for the guest to meet with the city’s officials.

I agree with the essence but disagree that the entire city council be privy to such guests.

If one makes the parallel between Newburyport City Hall and the State House, then the only city officials privy to such a reception would be the mayor, the city council president, and/or any cabinet members, aka department heads, who’s line of work encompasses the visitor’s mission.

But for the entire city council? I respectfully disagree with that idea.
