“Press policy”, “We don’t have to show you any stinking press policy”

The RDA already has a “press policy” it’s the 1^st Amendment to Constitution of the United States of America. Only governments can violate the 1^st Amendment, Including local governments.

The RDA members took an “Oath of Office” and swore to support the Constitution of the United States.

Freedom of the press has been solidly worked out in the USA. We don’t need to “Play it again…”

From the June 20, 2011 RDA meeting:

RDA Chairperson Joe Disciullo,“We would ask if the press has questions of the RDA please submit them in writing to the director and there will be a response that will come from the chairman or the director within 48 hours. 

Can I get a motion?”

Matt Baker, “I’ll make a motion to that.”

Joe Disciullo, “Thank you Matt. Could I get a second?”

Jack Burkholder, “I’ll second that.”

Joe Disciullo, “All those in favor”

Unanimous, “Aye”

Did they vote for this also:

 "Please understand we will make every effort to respond in 48 hours. There may be times when vacation, illness or unavailability of a consultant may delay responses.'
And then Disciullo adds that board members or legal counsel are not to make individual comments. In other words, the policy is a gag order."
