Leilani Clark, staff writer The North Bay Bohemian
Leilani:
Your article was a smear, as I expected. You attacked my partner, did not interview her for the facts, solicited quotes from people with a grudge against us without giving us a chance to respond, distorted my statements, deliberately tried to injure my employment by naming my employer though I asked you not to (and you agreed), and coined a term "Agenda21ers" in order to diminish the importance of the issue.
A year ago I reported Michael Allen to the FPPC and the Press Democrat did a smear article on me using Judy Kennedy. Now I reported Valerie Brown to the FPPC and the Bohemian used Judy Kennedy--the quote is nearly identical. Gary Wysocky neglected to mention that he stole the position of Junior College Neighborhood president from Kay so that he could call himself a 'neighborhood leader' when he ran for Council a month later. That was the kind of 'neighborly' behavior he supports. She was democratically elected and he was not.
This kind of yellow journalism shows that you are available for hire; an ugly look into the Bohemian's inner workings. I'd like to refresh your memory regarding our interview. Take a look at www.DemocratsAgainstUNAgenda21.com or youtube. -- Rosa Koire, ASA Executive Director Post Sustainability Institute www.PostSustainabilityInstitute.org
