MCTV is closing, yet the Manchester City Democratic Party Award Mike Lopez & Bob Backus

Why did the Manchester City Democratic Party give awards to Mike Lopez & Bob Backus when both have worked against keeping MCTV open?
MCTV is going to close in January.
The Republican Party will control Public, Education and Government television (3 channels) in Manchester just in time for another election. Mike Lopez, Ted Gatsas and Frank Guinta are to blame. It is disgusting that Bob Backus can't stop himself from going on MCAM with JKL.
The Manchester School Committee voted to accept a proposal from MCTV to take a 15% reduction in the MCTV budget for FY2010. This proposal was suppose to be voted on by the Aldermen during the Tuesday night meeting. It was never brought up and no decision was made yet again.
The only reason I can keep track of what has been going on in this City is because of MCTV.
So I ask the question again, maybe it needs to be directed to Ray Buckley? What will happen when Education and Government television in Manchester is controled by the Republican Party?
