The Blackstonian is introducing a new segment “What Was Said” where we will whenever possible, provide the actual audio clips of hot topics and discussions that the community is buzzing about. This will be an effort to reduce the game of “telephone” we all play when we try to explain to family, friends and co-workers about a discussion we heard on the radio, tv or even the bus.

To clear up this type of confusion and misinformation we will have the actual audio so people can hear for themselves What Was Said.

The groups had planned to sue if this plan would have been approved.
