I received a request for comment from your reporter, James Robinson, on alleged “misrepresentations” of John Mauro’s resume and qualifications. The only misrepresentations in this case are those by your newspaper and the former local leaders whose sad frustration with Mr. Mauro’s admirable stewardship of our city over the past five years has driven them to their present extreme.

Ms. Jordan and Mr. Robinson, your newspaper and reporting are working to stoke division and mistrust in our community. As an elected leader, I must ask you to stop. The role of the press is to report the facts without fear or favor. Inflammatory innuendo, gossip, hearsay, and misinformation are not facts, and reporting them as such does nothing to build a community where we can all thrive.

Yours Sincerely,

Owen Rowe
