Finch misses photo op/news conference at U.S. Conference of Mayors

Bridgeport Mayor Bill Finch attended the USCM meeting in Washington this week, but apparently didn’t make the post-mortem news conference, in which Republican and Democratic mayors alike criticized the Republican majority in the US House for their plans to cut funding to cities. One of the best moments in the newser occurred when a skeptical reporter asked whether there were any Republican mayors among the 20 or so there. In a near-humorous moment, the GOP mayor of Oklahoma City stepped up and asked the reporter what he wanted to know. This is about 27 minutes long.
