FAIR USE COPYRIGHT OF ALEX NEWMAN, PATCH EDITOR WHO ATTRIBUTED OUR STORY TO MY FORMER EDITOR, NELL ESCOBAR COAKLEY!

SURE, NELL COAKLEY WROTE THIS BEFORE THE PATCH, BUT HERE'S A SECOND ISSUE THAT WE PRINTED FIRST AND NEWMAN ATTRIBUTES TO MY FORMER EDITOR, NELL ESCOBAR COAKLEY.

I SUBMIT, BASED ON INFORMATION AND BELIEF, THAT COAKLEY'S CONFIDENTIAL INFORMANT IS MAYOR MICHAEL J. MCGLYNN AND THAT NELL IS ACTUALLY A MERE TYPIST - TOTAL CONFLICT OF INTEREST - FOR THE ALLEGEDLY DISGRACED FORMER MAYOR OF MEDFORD, BEST FRIENDS WITH THE LATE CROOKED SHERIFF DIPAOLA.

NELL ESCOBAR COAKLEY IS TOO CONFLICTED WITH MCGLYNN ...SHE TOLD ME THAT I WAS TOO INVOLVED WITH THE TV3 STORY AND IT WAS LIKE HER PUBLISHING INFORMATION FROM A WOMAN ALLEGEDLY DATING A CITY COUNCILOR.  TRY TO PUT YOUR BRAIN AROUND THAT LOGIC.
