In today's Tribune, in The Edge section, there is this little ditty:
Cameraman cameo
"What a waste of time," said John Watts after recent comments at a county commission meeting by a Highwood Generating Station critic.
The critic, Ron Gessaman, had just told commissioners he wasn't pleased with the county's response to his request for every e-mail, from every department relating to Highwood Generating Station.
Watts, who records commission meetings for the cable access television channel, left his camera and walked to the podium, where he mockingly requested all information the county had relating to the parting of the Red Sea and the Kennedy assassination.
He wrapped up his unusual appearance in front of the camera by telling Highwood critics to "shut up."

What a joke! No, I'm not referring to Watts, but to Gessaman. He is tiresome and should just go home.

Drawing the fire of the less intelligent sycophants proves you are on the right track, Thank you Mr. Guessaman.
Mr. Watts can have his opinion also and he can criticize the critics if he wants, as long
as we have OPEN government and transparent...isn't that why he's there RECORDING these events? I wish he encourage the commission to have nightly meetings like the city commission does, to ENCOURAGE
more public participation, not discourage it when most citizens are trying to make a living, and it falls on others who sacrifice their time to speak out.
Watts was getting paid to be there while Mr. Gessaman was there on his OWN dime. Do you think for a minute that Watts would bother otherwise? I think not......
I saw this Watts fella myself and he does not appear to be the sharpest tack in the box........
There were IMPORTANT public comments at that meeting that the Tribune completely ignored in favor of this stupidity! Pathetic........
