ISLAND OF RUMORS

Last Tuesday the Kodiak Perspective reported on rumors about a city councilperson. In attempting to verify the story, the Perspective asked the person in question, who denied the reports as being untrue.
Taking the councilperson’s word, the Perspective is happy to report that the couple is not estranged, and that councilperson has not moved outside of city limits.

The councilperson has received numerous calls inquiring if the rumor was true. Since it was a rumor, the Perspective was and continues to be vague about the identity, but apparently the callers were able to ferret out the identity (unless all councilpersons received similar calls), or, perhaps, the rumor was more widespread than this blog.

The Perspective should be more careful to verify rumors, even if it is a piece of juicy gossip about a public figure.
