Hello? Is anyone still reading? Probably not. You probably stopped reading after the meeting was referenced three times in as many sentences. That’s too bad because poor Mayor Dough is in critical condition.
The fact that some group met is never the most important part of a news story. The lead is always what happened at the meeting.
Let’s try it again.
Fake City’s mayor remains hospitalized after having a heart attack in a Monday meeting.
Mayor Jon Dough was in critical condition Tuesday at Fake City Hospital, 112 Fake Blvd. He was hospitalized after suffering a heart attack during a city council meeting.
“We were debating the budget when he just fell over,” Councilman Jake Lake said. “Perhaps the deficit was just more than his old heart could handle.”
The city council meets at 7 p.m. Mondays at Fake City Hall, 111 Fake Lane.
The council plans to continue budget discussions as soon as possible, Lake said.
“We plan to discuss the budget at Monday night’s meeting,” he said. “We really hope the mayor is feeling better and can be present.”
