Just as candidates reject endorsements from sleazy politicians like Donald Trump, I reject the cynical compliment from Paul Conte (Letters, 8/25) for my Eugene Weekly Viewpoint, “The Town Square Sting” (8/18).
None of the issues he piles on have anything whatsoever to do with what I was writing about. And I am not in agreement with him on any of them. There was no “bait and switch” involved in any of them. There was no “sting” involved. Just a washroom list of things that Conte does not like. The last thing that I want is for my name to be associated in any way with anything that Conte advocates for, or against.

Help keep truly independent
local news alive!
As the year wraps up, we’re reminded — again — that independent local news doesn’t just magically appear. It exists because this community insists on having a watchdog, a megaphone and occasionally a thorn in someone’s side.
Over the past two years, you helped us regroup and get back to doing what we do best: reporting with heart, backbone, and zero corporate nonsense.
If you want to keep Eugene Weekly free and fearless… this is the moment.
