Anyone else read this in the paper tonite. Estep refused to allow the paper to have a copy of their recent audit. Now, what does this imply???? Are they hiding something??? Is this just the tip of the iceberg?
What is Estep hiding, and why?
And the tourism commission wonders why people question them and their decisions.
This is the way I read it, any comments or opinions. Did I read this correctly?
Well, the times got their audit copy, and from their article, there really wasn't anything earth shattering in it. Maybe some things people with different opinions may want to discuss, but it was a basic audit.
The real question, why did they want to hold on to it. My opinion, is they were going to try to hold it until their reporter, Knuckles, could get ahold of it and do the article themselves for their next weeks paper. I'll go even further and say they would have given it to the times next tuesday after the deadline for their tueday's paper went to press.
This is another Estep ploy where he is trying to give himself some credibility.
Strange how recently, their reporter Knuckles I believe, did a piece of the Freedom of Information Act issues. And now, his own publisher, as a committee chairman, won't give out a copy of an audit of a public, tax funded committee, without a FOIA request. Wonder how he would have felt if Knuckles had to file a FOIA against his own paper.
Let's see, he refused a copy of the audit to the paper, so, you think he'll give the papers, both of them, a copy of the agenda for the next meeting. More than 30 seconds before the meeting starts.
