In a Times-News article today about the local port authority’s proposal to sell Ravine Park, Reporter George Miller wrote: “Some residents around Ravine Park are upset about plans to sell the property. They voiced their concerns Wednesday to Erie City Council, who must give approval.”
This, of course, is not just misleading, it’s dead wrong. Where is it written, except in Miller’s story, that council MUST approve the sale. It may or it may not.
What Miller should have written is that any sale of the property “is subject to city council’s approval.” Or he could have written the property “can’t be sold without city council’s approval." What he cannot correctly write is that council must approve the sale.
