Not Buying It
RECEIVED Mon., Jan. 23, 2017
Dear Editor,
Regarding the story run in print as “Can’t Hardly Wait” and online as “CodeNEXT Leak Stirs Up Drama” [Jan. 20], we respectfully take issue with the statement, “The source of both the leak and the tweets remains unclear, though circumstantial evidence points to Mike Lavigne, an outspoken critic of Central Austin development ….”
Mike flatly denied the accusation. We know and trust Mike, as do many others. It does not seem plausible to us that the Planning Department would leak a CodeNEXT draft to one of their most vocal critics. It doesn't serve the department's interests.
