From what I understand this all started because some City Council members were concerned that the Mayor was limiting citizens' access to their government by directing the Cable Commission to reduce the days that the City Council appears on the City's government access channel on Comcast. Rather than showing all of the City Council's daily meetings, only the Tuesday & Thursday meetings are shown now.

The Council was never formally notified of the permanent programming change, not were they ever provided an explanation for it that made sense. After unsuccessfully seeking a compromise from the Mayor on this matter, the Council consulted with its research staff and determined that it would change the Cable Commission ordinance. The Mayor vetoed the ordinance. Council overrode the veto. So now the Mayor is suing the Council.
