Ward to tell media... something

Mayor Art Ward said tonight he plans to discuss the pink shirt controversy in a rare 9 a.m. press conference in his City Hall office. The mayor said he intends to talk about the matter in a general way as opposed to a specific announcement, which may indicate he remains unmoved by critics. Or it may not. Ward has become the focus of national attention as the media picks up the story across America. Reporters from such media giants as Time magazine and The New York Times have called around for potential stories. Ward's morning presser was apparently spurred at least in part by the growing interest in the controversy. In any case, I'll be there in the morning. The only question I have now is whether to wear a pink shirt or not. Hmmm..... Copyright 2012. All rights reserved. Contact Steve Collins at scollins@bristolpress.com
