First Report by Becky Billingsley 6/9: As a Georgetown restaurant owner fights city hall to keep dishing live music at his Front Street restaurant, he and neighboring business owners are becoming increasingly frustrated with city council members who act against them.

"...when a city councilwoman calls the cops on you, that's so wrong on so many levels. She is supposed to be supporting local businesses, and music is my business," says Brad Freeman, owner of Backstage Cafe.

Freeman caught a councilmember on video saying a vote against her is a vote for an all-black council.
