CBS12/WPEC Reporter Chuck Weber: demonstrating TV news reporting done professionally

Chuck Weber does it again, showing why he's one of the most respected TV news reporters in Palm Beach County: no hyperbole, fairness to all sides, and staying to the known facts. You can watch his latest report on the Common Ground (no 's') Church story here.

[A link to Chuck Weber's interview with Lake Worth Mayor Pam Triolo on March 6 can be found here.]

From the text of Chuck Weber's story:
     City staff blamed a misunderstanding, saying non-profit organizations do not need business licenses.
     However, they did say an additional use such as holding regular church services would require approval, and an inspection, to make sure adequate safety features exist for the new use-- sufficient exits, for example.
     Pastor Olive said the inspection took place last week, and he was told the space complied with city requirements for gatherings, and the church could resume services.
     However, city manager Mike Bornstein told CBS12 late Monday a fire inspection still had to be arranged, but that would almost certainly happen later in the week.
Three days prior to Chuck Weber's story, on March 13, Pastor Olive was a guest on a podcast originating from Waco, Texas. The title from the podcast's website:

PASTOR MIKE OLIVE - CHURCH PERSECUTION
