Yesterday I received an e-mail from the Eagle Chamber of Commerce president informing me that the Chamber had nothing to do with the Eagle Informer. Terri Bath stated that the Chamber merely sends the Eagle Informer press releases, as it does with all of the other publications in and around Eagle. She also made a statement that the Chamber supports ALL business in Eagle. I tend to disagree with her on that particular comment and I’ll write more on that in another post.

A phone call this evening from the Eagle Informer publisher revealed another angle to the Boise Weekly’s article. First of all, I give Mary Defayette credit for bothering to call me in the first place. That puts her a step above Phil Bandy in my book. Phil hasn’t attempted to communicate with me before, during or after the election. (Although I do hear he is a fan of my blog.)

Mary politely pointed out that what is written in a newspaper is not always true, and used the articles in the Idaho Statesman during my mayoral campaign as an example. Okay, I’ll give her that one. She admitted she did use the term “The Haters,” but that it wasn’t directed towards anyone in particular. She also said that she was not political in any way and truly meant the Eagle Informer to be simply a tool for the City and local businesses to broadcast information about upcoming events. Kind of a “just the facts” and no opinion type of magazine.

Mary indicated that she would be submitting a comment here on my blog in the next few days in an attempt to clear up the misunderstanding, so instead of me paraphrasing the details of our conversation maybe we’ll hear it from the publisher herself. Stay tuned!
