Thin skin: Radio host asks tough questions of Bill White; Mayor's staff whines

In the comments on our "Blame the Feds!" post, kjb434 called our attention to some excellent local radio by Michael Berry.

In this mp3 from Tuesday's program, Berry engages in some tough (but fair) questioning of Mayor White on immigration, sanctuary policies, and the like. Following that, Berry interviews HPOU head Gary Blankenship, who is highly critical of the administration's policies (related to two of his fellow officers being shot by illegal aliens). Where have such questions from the press (and councilmembers, for that matter) been all along? Seriously, why has the mayor gotten such a pass on various policy initiatives/failures? Better late than never, though, so kudos to Michael Berry.

Apparently, Mayor White's press people didn't like Berry's treatment of their guy, and called the host to lecture him about it. Berry discusses that outrageous conversation in this mp3 from Wednesday's program.

Wouldn't it be great if the mayor's staff were as concerned about solving the problems of the city as squelching occasionally critical voices?
