“WELCOME NEWS MEDIA, FREE SLICE OF PIE W/ PRESS PASS.” Thus the local businesses of Redwood City are welcoming the expected masses of journalists who’ve arrived in town to cover the Scott Peterson trial. In addition to the free Baker’s Square pie, the press can enjoy a complimentary cruise on the bay, 10% off at El Torito, and reduced rental car and massage rates. However, parking a satellite truck in town for a month will set them back $7,500, despite the best efforts of a media attorney who made a plea for a reduced fee at a City Council meeting, only to be rebuked by a councilmember who told her “I’m embarrassed for you.” Seems the City Council isn’t feeling as generous as the business community.
