One more on Horn
Growing weary of the Bill Horn/NCT thinga-ma-jig, dear readers? I’ll update you nonetheless. Horn has finally correct the information on his website. The dateline says May 7, but it definitely wasn’t posted until late in the day May 8, at the earliest.
(May 7, 2008 — Following the publication of this web posting, we have been informed by the offices of Supervisors Jacob, Slater-Price, Cox, and Roberts that contrary to what we were told by consultant Craig Benedetto; the offices of Supervisors Jacob, Slater-Price, Cox, and Roberts maintain that Mr. Hutcheson did not personally meet with them. Since we were not privy to the office calendars of other Supervisors, we could not confirm the information we received one way or another from Mr. Benedetto. Supervisor Jacob’s office asked we make a note of that and we are happy to do so for her and my fellow Supervisors.)
Darryn Bennett, the North County Times reporter whose stories prompted Horn to create his “The Whole Story” blog, has a follow-up piece in today’s paper. You can check it out here. Here’s an excerpt:
New details about a meeting between county Supervisor Bill Horn and the chief executive of a wireless company with a controversial cell-tower project before the county government have cast doubt on the supervisor’s credibility and raised questions about the legality of the meeting.
Various sources have contradicted Horn’s account of the meeting, as described in an e-mail his spokesman sent to the newspaper last week and on his Fifth District Web site.
The supervisor has not been accused of breaking any laws, but his critics have said the meeting smacks of impropriety and may violate county guidelines.
