Legal experts say a
conservative think tank whose reporters were barred from a news briefing
by Democratic Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers has a strong case.
The MacIver Institute for Public Policy filed a federal lawsuit on Tuesday alleging that Evers violated its staffers` constitutional rights to free speech, freedom of the press and equal access. MacIver reporters were not allowed to attend a February budget briefing and do not receive advisories from Evers` office about upcoming events. University of Wisconsin-Madison law and political science professor Howard Schweber says based on the known facts, MacIver`s case against Evers is "practically a slam dunk." Evers spokeswoman Melissa Baldauff says Evers believes in a "fair and unbiased press corps" and is committed to openness in state government... Ken Notes: Seriously?? I do not get "notices" and I am more read than MacIver....Tony for the record, I`m good - but if you need a reporter in Japan or Germany I`m you guy!!!! | ||
