Asserts that letters are factual
I saw in last Fridays Dispatch that Paul Mack seemed to be critical and complimentary of my letters to The Dispatch. He stated that when I go beyond local topics that the facts tend to disappear. He stated I had shown no evidence Scott Colom was backed by George Soros. I want to make certain that anyone who reads my letters understands everything I put in a letter is documented, verified and factual. I am an adult so this will be the only time I humor him by giving him some of the research evidence. If he takes the time to do a little research of his own he will find the Colom-Soros collaboration in the following publications: The Clarion Ledger 10/15/15, New York Magazine 3/27/18, The Commercial Dispatch 10/17/15, The New York Times 3/30/17, Mississippi Today 8/20/18 and The Washington Post 11/9/19 to name a few. My only dealing with Mr. Colom was with a bad check written to my business. His office kept the check I turned in for 30 days and returned it to me stating they would not attempt to collect it. Forrest Allgood’s staff always collected checks for me with a 100 percent success rate. If Colom’s office won’t even attempt to collect a check, what other laws do they refuse to enforce?
I have never mentioned Trump in any of my letters or the election, but it sounds as if you would like for me to start. I can’t change your mind and you certainly won’t change mine. We have a lot of problems and corruption in our city government, and I hope we can work together to at least change this.
