Meritless election claims

City commissioner (Clinton) Baller's letter published in your January 2022 issue continues his campaign of harassment and incorrect statements that I as a candidate lied and spread disinformation about the master plan of which there are currently two drafts, the second one published in October in the midst of the election campaign.


At the conclusion of the letter Downtown added a Publisher's Note apparently stating agreement that I put out disinformation and falsehoods about the developing master plan during the election.


On what verified information did the publisher make these meritless claims and why did you not provide me with the courtesy of a response before making them?
