Thot I would also post MP’s comments on the matter. I like how he uses his donation to censoring a mural because him and Poops thot it was racist, then the Smithsonian used it. The guy is a cultural vacuum. Also, as for story leads, I am sitting on one of the biggest city stories I have had in years, bigger then the Events Center siding debacle. The sad part is I can’t give it to any local journalists because they are incompetent, and like some have done, if I give them a story lead, they run to the city or school district and tattle that I am looking for the story. I have been following some leads, and I am close to breaking it. Let’s just say, when this comes out, the impression that folks have about city government will change, and it will change quickly. It’s bad. Very bad.

During this entire debacle with the Dakota Scout and Argus I have just been back and watching as this all unfolds. Joe Sneve, a PARTIAL owner of the DS sent me these texts May 30, just minutes after I ended a phone conversation with Councilor Thomason. I told Richard to ask who the investors were, and apparently he did, because I got this unsolicited text from Joe;

As you can see, Joe doesn’t reveal ANY outside investors, he tells me that him and Jon used their life savings. He has continued to send me harassing texts claiming I am lying about the ownership.
How would you interpret that? I asked who the investors were and he told me him and Jon used their life savings.
Joe sent me a text last week accusing me of LYING about the texts. As you can see, there was a reason to cover up the investors since one of the main investors gave money to ALL 9 councilors on the dais, Matt Paulson. This is what his RAGE is all about, getting caught in a LIE.
I stopped giving leads to local journalists. They seem to be more concerned about keeping their investors happy instead of informing the public.
