It began with: "Today the ex-wife of former mayor Robbie Perkins filed a motion for contempt alleging he failed to pay alimony this month" and reported of a claim filed in "Guilford County District Court" alleging that the former mayor missed a $5,292 alimony payment.
The News & Record has removed the story. Without explanation or correction the story has simply vanished. There is only a "not found" error when one visits the previous link to the story. Searches for the story anywhere else on the News & Record's site come up empty.
Why did the News & Record remove this story? If it was in error, we and the parties involved deserve a correction. If it was removed for some other reason, the News & Record, for the sake of its reputation, should explain why.

What reputation?
ReplyDeleteYep, got it the next day.
ReplyDeleteAlimony never goes away until the ex spouse remarries.
ReplyDeletePerkin's ex could be a thorn in his side for the rest of her life.
Frankly, I didn't see it as much of a story to begin with. The guy has returned to private life. The issue is why the paper of record would publish then delete a story without comment or explanation.
ReplyDeleteDid they get the story wrong?
Is their news subject to deletion based on persuasion?
Not in error. I filed it for her.
