ROYALTON TO SUPPORT TOM CHRISTY

The local television and print media is reporting that the town of Royalton will issue a resolution in support of former Legislative Journal host Tom Christy who was fired from his talk show for purely political reasons (he and his callers were becoming too inquisitive and critical for the liking of some elected officials).

What makes this so remarkable: cable subscribers in Royalton DO NOT receive LCTV!! The first amendment knows no boundaries!

For a primer on the Christy situation, watch WIVB TV's news story here (complete with a sound bite from yours truly):
