Two reporters from The Plain Dealer, a Cleveland daily, were ejected from a public meeting by Cuyahoga Commissioner Jimmy Dimora, after they asked him a question regarding a county employee’s qualifications and the reason she was hired.
According to The Plain Dealer, Mark Puente and Henry J. Gomez approached the Commissioner during recess, just before the meeting resumed. When they asked him about the employee, he became visibly upset and ordered that the reporters be escorted out by security. Plain Dealer editor Susan Goldberg described the eviction as “unacceptable” and part of “illegal, strong arm tactics [that] have no place in a free society.”
