Savannah’s City Council chambers were full Thursday afternoon for the first 2018 budget hearing. I sat down to review the city's proposals with Susan Catron, executive editor of Savannah Morning News. She says one issue is undermining the work of council and City Manager Rob Hernandez. Conversation with Susan Catron.

I also asked Catron about Savannah Morning News' decision to file suit this week against the parent corporation of Memorial University Medical Center and the hospital over open records requested by the newspaper. Susan Catron on law suit.
