In today’s News Journal there is notice that Pam Scott had influence upon the letter announcing the compromise Chris Coons and Stoltz Reality worked out regarding the Barley Mill Plaza.
I just want to point out that this is not odd. I do it all the time. When an agreement is going to be made public, it is common practice to have the attorney’s on both sides trouble shoot it, play devil’s advocate, fling it against the wall to see if anything loose will fall out.
There is nothing more embarrassing than rolling out a plan whose flaw is immediately picked out by the public, and the whole plan has to then be rolled up and fixed.
This is why we send drafts back and forth to each other and ask for their approval, and if they choose to make changes they send it back to us for our approval.
This is a standard protocol in business and is nothing shady at all. Trying to make it into something sinister and heinous won’t stand. It is what we all do. It is how things work.
Just sayin’.

There are a lot more emails recovered after deletion that show a lot more than the few Adam Taylor chose to use in his story. We don’t know if Coons signed this Settlement agreement or not. Clark shredded all of the documents in his/Coons office before vacating. But we do know that the attorneys in his law dept. signed a confidentiality agreement with Barley Mill, signed it for the council without their consent and went on to obstruct discovery in the Chancery Court trial.
