The Chronicle has charged that Reeves used a city credit card for personal dining and entertainment expenses.
At last night's council meeting, Reeves lashed out against the newspaper. "We are a first-class city with a fifth-class newspaper," he told the rally, which preceded the meeting.
In a Chronicle article last week, staff writer Scott Farmelant wrote that Reeves had declined to clarify more than 275 expenses he charged on the city-provided credit card since July 1993. Reeves dined out 134 of 383 days, many of them on weekends with his partner, the Chronicle reported...
In his defense, Reeves claimed that four of the 275 expenses were justified. For example, he said he had paid St. Paul's African Methodist Episcopal $150 to purchase 10 copies of the church's history of Cambridge for the city's public libraries.
Reeves told The Crimson last night that he planned to issue a point-by-point rebuttal of the charges "within days."
