Did they ever find the bus burglar?

Also, funny to think there were probably multiple reporters in those city council meetings all trying to figure out their own way of filling space. While not good for people's career prospects, having a single reporter [maybe rotating each year] write once and disseminate to all (AP style) feels more optimal.

I find that having a single source of information too often leads to very sub optimal outcomes.

Now a days we have zero sources of information for these city council meetings given newspaper industry can’t afford to cover local news.

Teaming would be better than that.

I'm not sure there would even be anyone to team with. I've maybe been to a couple of town or selectman meetings in the 25 years I've lived in my town. Most are incredibly boring and have zero direct impact on me.

Hence how silly it would be to send multiple reporters and the point of my original comment.
