Anchorage voters need to know that in the April 5 article by Tegan Hanlon, Tegan falsely stated that I told her that I ran to promote my book – I have demanded of her immediate supervisors that the ADN provide me a phone transcript of the interview which I plan to use in a defamation suit. As a result of Tegan’s patently false statement I have received the absolutely predictable defamation insults from the public. I made manifestly clear to Tegan – both in the phone interview and in previous emails to her – that the ONLY reason I ran is to inform the ASD parent population of the 4 issues already (during my “candidacy”) well-disseminated in print and over the air. Because of the disgusting assault on our children by treasonously negligent administrators, school board members and politicians continuing now after 25 yrs. I will be spending the bulk of my effort overseas. One day the children of today will look back in absolute disgust at the trashing of their champions.
