On Monday night Mayor White gave a speech before the Progressive Forum. I emailed Frank Michel and Pat Trahan in the mayor’s office asking when a transcript of the mayor’s speech would be posted. Today Frank Michel responded, saying that since the speech was “mostly impromptu,” there is no “written copy of it.”
Oh. Well, how impromptu could it have been if the Chronicle highlighted it at least three days before the speech?
I also emailed the Chronicle‘s news desk asking if there would be a follow-up story on the mayor’s speech. I was told that something was planned for next Tuesday.
I would really like to see a transcript of that speech, since Monday was when the big Metro deal was announced, and according to one person who was at the Hobby Center, Mayor White did talk about Metro’s new plan in his speech.
