I wanted to apologize for the article entitled, “Lakewood officials calls challenger ‘MORALLY BANKRUPT’”. I was not fair enough to Councilman Todd Rogers. He has a legitimate complaint about any implication that he received the $2 million funds. While the mailer went onto to clarify that it was only saying campaign donations and endorsements went to Rogers, any indication of Rogers receiving taxpayer funds is wrong. I don’t believe the Hamlins meant at all to indicate that as they clarify themselves in their mailer, but I have to be fair to Councilman Rogers. I’ve fixed the article on the site, but what you received in your inbox was wrong on my part. It was not fair enough.
Sorry to get personal here, but I am extremely exhausted. This blog and the printed newsletter is all done at a loss. I’ve walked to over a thousand homes this weekend, and I can barely think/write. Therefore, unless there’s an emergency, I will be holding off on future articles until at least Tuesday.
Best regards,
Brian Maquena
