I need to correct Tom West’s serious misunderstanding of my last post regarding Chatham Thinker.
This was my post:

Subject: Conflict of interest articles
People should be aware that the articles recently posted by Chatham
Thinker/Virginia Penley were written by a reporter who was on Randy Voller’s staff when he was chair of the NC Democratic Party. She helped him campaign for the job, and he hired her as state director after he won.
I’m not impugning anything against this reporter, just stating this info in
the interests of full disclosure.
Happy Wednesday to everyone, when it comes. 🙂
Peace to the neighborhood,

Here are the articles in the Chatham News + Record that I was referring to, which had been posted to the chatlist by Chatham Thinker:
https://www.chathamnewsrecord.com/stories/pittsboro-commissioner-questioned-on-potential-conflict-of-interest,3731?
https://www.chathamnewsrecord.com/stories/candidate-flier-draws-ire-possible-elections-complaint,3634?
The reporter’s history of working for the NC Democratic Party under Randy is part of the public record. All I did was state that information. I absolutely did not say that she wrote chatlist posts for Chatham Thinker or Pam Cash-Roper or anyone else. And I have absolutely no association with anything else Tom West has suggested.
Now, I don’t know about everyone else, but I personally am getting mighty tired of reading my own posts on this chatlist.
Can’t we get back to what’s happening at the library and whose dog is lost? 🙂
Thank you,
Leda
