On June 20, one day after the Post & Courier published my op-ed, the Mayor’s office issued a press releasedisputing factual statements I’d made. This press release contains several erroneous statements, some of which were contradicted by the Mayor during the June 20 council meeting. This document is still on the city website–it was included in a newsletter the city circulated the following week.
I sent the Post & Courier a response to this press release and the mayor’s comments at the June 20 council meeting, but the editor said the P & C “can’t use another op-ed on this subject” and suggested I send a shorter letter to the editor.
