And for those who suggest that we cover newly elected Commissioner David Madore too much consider this:

  • He's the new guy on the block.
  • He has different ideas than almost any recent elected official.
  • He is controversial. Some would say polarizing.
  • He creates strong reactions.
  • Folks tend to either love him or hate him. Respect him or disrespect him.
  • He is looking at the way things are done by government.
  • He is provocative.

All of this adds up to coverage. It's really News 101.
