Mayor referred only to petition

Re. “Mayor terms ex-candidate’s writing ‘a piece of crap’ “ by Todd Taylor, Sept 29, 2016.

Mr. Taylor is factually incorrect in his “reporting”. I watched the Rogers online video of the meeting. The Mayor makes a comment from the 1:18:00 mark to the 1:18:10 mark, where he states, “A lot of what you write in here (referring strictly to the petition) “is a piece of crap.” He does not say “a lot of what you write is a piece of crap”. What Mr. Taylor has done, is deliver a very subtle yet significant change to what was actually said, appearing to make the Mayor look like he has dismissed everything Ms. Post has ever written.

The fact is, the Mayor made this statement in referral ONLY to the petition, an opinion shared by many of the other Council members as well. I would hope that, in the interest of fair, balanced, and factual reporting, Mr. Taylor and/or The Citizen will correct this error.
