But Longino wasn’t done. When a reporter for the South Metro Neighbor last month asked him about the festival, Longino threatened the newspaper. He said he would pull the city’s legally required advertisements, such as announcements of city meetings or zoning decisions.

“The paper should not be writing stuff like that. And if you write something that I don’t like, and you make me mad, we will quit using y’all as our city organ,” he told the paper. “We will find somebody else to use. We’ve come close to doing that before.”
