Mr. Michael, tear down this rope
It was nice to see the two ropes blocking access to the Council Chambers dais were removed during last night's meeting. That's one difference with the new mayor.
Don Kurth had the rope strategically placed so Joe Schmo, or rather Reporter Schmo, couldn't rush the dais for a surprise interview. Earlier this year, a Fox News producer and cameraman approached Kurth and caught him off guard. After that incident Kurth had two ropes placed on both sides of the dais.
I try to remain unbiased on most city issues but not on this one. I was a one-woman group secretly calling for the ropes' removal. After Dennis Michael won the November elections, I asked him to weigh in.
"I'm not at all opposed to remvoing them," Michael said.
Last night, he followed through.

I can't wait to rush the dais!
