News Atlanta Police Union's Scott Kreher talks furloughs, endorsements
Posted by Thomas Wheatley @thomaswheatley on Fri, May 8, 2009 at 2:09 AM
Grayson Daughters spoke with Atlanta Police Union Chief Scott Kreher at the most recent Atlantans Together Against Crime rally in Midtown. Topics included how the organization will endorse a candidate in the Atlanta mayor's race, what role the community plays in fighting crime, and what's needed to end police furloughs.
In March, the Atlanta City Council unanimously passed a resolution urging Mayor Shirley Franklin to introduce a budget that ended police and firefighter furloughs. Last week, the mayor granted its request. Council is expected to vote on the budget in June.

This is a great example here, Young Wheat-E-Fresh, of how video and text/links mash nicely together to support one another in the digital space. You filled in the gap in the video (background on Atlanta City Council's furlough-related resolution) with no muss, no fuss; just a few key sentences, but text with the right link embeds... should the audience decide FOR THEMSELVES, and their unique local news wants and needs, that THEY need more. Had I put such background in the video, it would have created too much video muss and fuss. Hope digital advertisers take note as that's a critical part of the digi-news pie too.
