I hope someone told him to go to hell. A public meeting is exactly that, open to the public.

I wonder how disruptive the reporter actually was. Travaglini said: "Walking into an ongoing PRIM meeting and plunking a recording device in the middle of the table certainly qualifies as ‘active interference’ with the conduct of the meeting in my mind. " If the reporter made a ton of noise and interrupted the meeting, then OK. If the reporter was relatively quiet and Travaglini over-reacted, then by all means we should have issue with that. Though the rest of his e-mail does make him sound like a not so nice individual. Reporters have a right to record these public meetings, but not at the cost of the productivity of the meeting. If they're stealthy then everything is OK, if they're loud and disruptive they do lose their right. Adam Pieniazek´s last blog post..Boston Tweetups

The idea that any public meeting won't be recorded and on the record is kind of humorous. Hopefully this won't end well for Mr. Travaglini. Although, the news does seem to be about his conduct instead of whatever went on in the meeting. A plan? Fred H Schlegel´s last blog post..Nook and Cranny Creativity

It's a shame that public officials think that we are under their control instead of the truth of the matter, which is they work for us and we are the boss. This country will be in worse condition if we the people don't get off our butts and speak our minds at the voting booths. Billy Akerman´s last blog post..GM Bankruptcy
