   I really like the interactive newsletter. It’s current and very informative!

   The City of Emeryville experienced its largest ever protest march last week. People were marching in support of the Woodfin workers and pressuring the City Council to enforce the law (Measure C, passed by the voters). Many hundreds of marchers took to the streets.

   It is interesting that ‘In Emeryville’ choses to ignore this major news event. It seems you have shown everyone where you stand editorially by this omission.

   The largest protest march ever in Emeryville (see my comment above) is no longer really newsworthy; it is now history. ‘In Emeryville’, the news site that timely reported on the opening of a new tatoo parlor and this small noise ordinance protest, made a decision to not report on more than 350 people marching, including representitives from Residents United for a Livable Emeryville (RULE) in protest of Woodfin’s violation of our livable wage ordinance (Measure C). Indeed, RULE has not been covered by this site even as other out-of-town news organizations (including the New York Times) have.

   The City Council have shown open hostility to RULE and Measure C.

   Regardless of what ‘In Emeryville’ says about their editorial stance, this reporting ommission speaks volumes.
