"....unprecedented..."

Are you kidding me?

This just in.....
WFMJ:


.....Republican Gov.-elect John Kasich (KAY-sik) has closed the 12:01 a.m. event to the news media, an act unprecedented in modern state history. He cites security concerns for his family at his personal residence, where he is to be sworn in by Chief Justice Maureen O'Connor. A ceremonial inauguration is scheduled in downtown Columbus later that day.

The decision is escalating criticism of the former congressman and Wall Street banker over positions he's taken on access to public information, events and documents since his election Nov. 2.

Former Ohio Gov. John Gilligan, a Democrat, said openness between a governor and the press is imperative to the public.


I'm sure this is just the beginning of more "no access" events in the Kasich administration.
