Hendricks column on Squitiro diary

Mike Hendricks’ states that I dished “dirt” on Mayor Funkhouser and his wife, Gloria Squitiro, “while shopping … a tell-all book” (7/15, National/Local, “Don’t read too much into diary”).

In fact, I was deposed as part of a lawsuit. Knowing that my testimony would become public, and that daily news outlets would likely report only the most sensational information, I chose to do two lengthy radio interviews so I could offer more context and share positive information as well as negative, which I did.

When I signed on to Funkhouser’s campaign I made it clear that I would write a book. This was reported on a Star blog shortly after he took office.

Hendricks also quotes Squitiro’s dismay that I would “throw away” a friend and that “to hurt is (my) intent.” He doesn’t reveal that this is from an e-mail exchange that occurred immediately after I resigned. My intent was to leave an untenable work situation.

Could you imagine Hendricks' diary?

"Stood in front of the mirror with the intention of gazing at my navel. Could not see my navel, so started to work on my comb-over."
