"Best Friend" Gets Off The Hook
The London Free Press is taking a lot of heat over the handling of the Time Best Story. Best, the husband of London Mayor Anne Marie CeCicco faces numerous charges including failing to remain at the scene, driving while intoxicated causing bodily harm just to name a few.
Being a well know figure in London like Tim Best is you would think the story would have great significance, I would anyway. Paul Berton of the London Free Press must have felt otherwise and put his friends story on the third page of the paper. Paul has taken a lot of heat for this decision but stands by it.
This is a very serious case and I believe this qualifies as front page material considering the Mayor has been so tight lipped about it someones got to report what's going on.
Tim is best known for his Sports Bar Friday Knight Lights which you will also find Anne Marie working on occasion, maybe even more now. Up until now their story seemed like such a fairytale but this one may not have a happy ending.
It will be interesting to see how the Mayor deals with the embarrassing and very serious situation. In a position like Anne Marie's bad press like this may destroy her. Or maybe Anne Marie will part ways with Tim and continue to lead the Forest City.
There are so many different directions this may unfold but the London Free Press assures us that they will be there covering it every step of the way, lets just hope they give it the press it deserves next time.
Maybe if Tim was my friend I would do the same thing and try to cause him as little damage as I could........no, I'd roast him! So Paul, next time you do a story on one of your buddies and don't feel you can handle it why not pass it on to somebody who can. If you were the Police officer that finally got him would you have let him go because he's Tim Best the Mayor's Husband?
