The
Carmel Pine Cone
The local newspaper incited a groundswell of public opinion among the residents through articles generally biased against the New Administration.

EXHIBIT A: In an e-mail from City Administrator Chip Rerig to city staff members regarding Rerig’s appointment of former Commander Paul Tomasi to the position of Chief of Police/Director of Public Safety, dated December 16, 2016 at 10:07 A. M., City Administrator Chip Rerig stated to city staff members, in part, as follows: “Good morning. As you're likely aware, I recently appointed Paul Tomasi as our Chief of Police/Director of Public Safety… I was remiss in not sending you the news of Paul's appointment to the entire staff team earlier. You should not have learned of my decision through our local media outlets, and I apologize for this oversight. My only defense is that I wanted to insure that the story was not first reported by a news group other than The Pine Cone.”

EXHIBIT B: Realizing that the City of Carmel-by-the-Sea provided city council agendas to The Carmel Pine Cone on Thursday afternoons prior to providing them to the public on Friday afternoons, Carmelite Jeff Baron communicated to the city council on March 7, 2017 that it is “an issue of fairness,” “I don’t think it’s fair that The Pine Cone gets any idea of what’s on the agenda before the public does. You guys in the city, you’re responsible to the public, not to the press.”
