It has come to my attention, through social and other media, that in last week’s Publisher’s Position I incorrectly identified 2019 city council candidate Amelia Parker as having dropped the “F bomb” while addressing city council about an issue at a council meeting in 2016.
After further review, I stand corrected that it was not Ms. Parker who dropped the “F bomb” and in fact was another lady by the name of Rachael Wanyoike who spoke at the same council meeting on February 16, 2016.
In order to set the record straight you can view the videos of Ms. Parker and Ms. Wanyoike at the 2016 council meeting by clicking their names in this post.
Again, I appreciate this being brought to my attention in order to correct my error.
