GREENSBORO, NC -- [Please see Yes!Weekly editor Brian Clarey's response below.]
There are murmurs, rumors and grumblings that Greensboro City Councilor Marikay Abuzuatier was somehow "set up" with the release by the City of Greensboro of an email from a police sergeant that identifies her as a confidential informant.
It is hard to consider these theories without quickly finding oneself wading into the most improbable of conspiracies. Nonetheless, with the release of the complaint the City filed in a failed attempt to get Yes!Weekly to stop publication of a story based, in part, on those emails, there is a bit of information that raises a legitimate question.
The complaint lists the search terms Yes! submitted for their records requests. Among them is an email address for Abuzuaiter. No other city council members' email addresses were among the search requests submitted by Yes! Just Abuzuaiter's.
Why is that?
-----------------------
Yes!'s response: Yes!Weekly editor Brian Clarey says that the search terms listed in the City's complaint were from requests made subsequent to Yes!'s receipt of documents from prior records requests in which Abuzuaiter's association with the police was first noticed. Those previous documents prompted the additional requested search specifically for Abuzuaiter's email address says Clarey.
