Apparently, “fuming” Line 6B landowners made for the fifth biggest story of the year over at the Livingston County Daily Press & Argus. We will say this much: Christopher Behnan stayed on the story like few other local reporters (Susan Bromley and Eric Lawrence excepted). And the story made hardly any impression at all over at The Oakland Press, which is one of the great mysteries (and travesties) of the year in local journalism as far as we’re concerned.
But the Daily Press headline does have us wondering one thing: have we been fuming? Do we fume here at the Citizens’ blog? (Privately, it’s another matter altogether…)
I don’t understand this at all:
“Tom Hodge, director of the company’s pipeline-replacement project, later said a contractor mistakenly hired armed, off-duty sheriff’s deputies working for a private security agency to monitor work sites.
The company’s intention was to have off-duty, uniformed Livingston County Sheriff’s Department deputies on site so residents could recognize police in squad cars, Hodge said.”
