Attorney General calls about April Fool article

Sandi Copes, press secretary for Attorney General Bill McCollum, called asking for a copy of an article by Walker Holmes that reports the Attorney General is investigating the Pensacola City Council (Council Ousted ).

Apparently Tallahassee has received several phone calls from angry Pensacolians asking why they haven’t removed the city council. I had to explain to Copes that it was an April Fools article.
