TRADING FAVORS FOR SEXUAL
CONTACT LENS LEARNED HIS
SENTENCE TODAY.
SENTENCE TODAY. HE ACQUITTED ON FIVE OF SIX
COUNTS.

WORK. AS OUR JASON COLTHORP
REPORTS FROM TODAY’S BIG
ANNOUNCEMENT IT STARTS WITH
THE CREATION OF A NEW
OFFICE.
OFFICE. >> Reporter: THE SIDE OF
THIS BUILDING HERE ON THE
BOULVARD IN THIS CITY SHOULD
GIVE YOU A GOOD IDEA.

OFFICE BUILDING GOING UP IN
THE CITY, IT’S THE HOME OF
ITS BOLDEST, NEWEST ADDITION

LEADER.
LEADER. >> TODAY WAS A LAUNCH, IT
WAS A BEGINNING IT WAS A
COMMENCEMENT.
COMMENCEMENT. I’M GOING TO BE ALL OVER THE
CITY LOOKING FOR PLACES FOR
ART HOUSES.
ART HOUSES. LOOKING FOR PEOPLE TO
CONNECT WITH.
CONNECT WITH. LOOKING FOR PARTNERS.
BUT THE BOTTOM LINE IS THIS
CITY HAS BEEN HAD SO MUCH
ELSE TO DO THAT IT’S NOT
REALLY FOCUSED ENOUGH ON
ARTS AND CULTURE.
I THINK THAT ARTS AND
CULTURE ARE AS IMPORTANT AS
AUTOS, ARE AS IMPORTANT AS
MECHANICAL DESIGN, ARE AS
IMPORTANT AS WATER.
ONCE WE DO THE ARTIST CENSUS
WE’LL REALIZE THAT MOST OF
THE PEOPLE IN THEY CITY ARE
CONNECTED TO ARTS AND CAN
YOU TELL.
YOU TELL. >> YOU ARE.

MORE COMING UP ON LOCAL 4
