Comment: The lede of the story is buried in the last paragraph. I am absolutely gobsmacked that some two-bit flack in the Mayor's office is able to fob off a reporter at SW by telling him to go read an article in The Stranger?
EFFING SERIOUSLY?!?
Show some damn pride you guys. When I lent my byline to this publication, that sort of stunt would not have stood for two seconds, even if I had to go down to City Hall, kick open a door and pound on someone's desk until I got my question answered.
I am just absolutely astounded this sort of behavior is tolerated. And it is telling that staff at City Hall give absolutely ZERO fochs about Seattle Weekly that they feel emboldened to send a reporter trundling along to read our competitor's rag.
Holy hell guys.
