LETTER TO THE EDITOR OF THE ROCKY MOUNTAIN NEWS
PLEASE FORWARD
Did the city pay for the series you are now running about the
upcoming Denver election, what Denver GOP chair Mary Smith
has told reporters is "an alphabet-soup grab for cash"?
I spoke with a reporter several times and made it clear that
the election should be seen as a referendum on Mayor J-Hic's
poor performance and people should just vote "no" and that
perhaps it was time to Kick Hic.
My comments were watered down dramatically, and Mary Smith's
comments were not reported at all!
Each morning I've looked for the series on line, and it has
been hidden in the web version of your paper. This is an
obvious manipulation of the story, it deserves at least equal
treatment with the other front page stories this week.
What has happened to the idea that our newspapers are
watchdogs on city government? Since the Join Operating
Agreement, it has become just one dysfunctional family,
the newspapers, Denver city government, and the bonding
companies, contractors and others who end up with the cash.
Denver voters who want to send a message should just vote NO.
