    "Chronicle Article is Misleading"

    Steve Westly is fighting backing against a San Francisco Chronicle article about his IPO sales.

    The article in the San Francisco Chronicle is misleading and any suggestion that laddering occurred is false. While I invite and expect scrutiny, I expect such scrutiny to be fair and accurate. This article is neither. There was no laddering and no laddering agreement...It is irresponsible for a newspaper to make such allegations when there is no evidence to support the charge.

    Unfortunately, Westly declined a Chronicle interview for the article in advance.

    When The Chronicle sought to interview Westly about the stock trades, campaign manager Jude Barry said he would speak for Westly.

    The original article appeared here.

    Shane,

    That's just not accurate.

    The Chronicle NEVER asked to speak to Controller Westly. Had they asked, we would have made him accessible to the paper, as we have made him accessible to other papers looking into his taxes and financial affairs, including the Times, Bee, Mercury News, and Chronicle, in recent weeks.

    While we have made ourselves accessible to reporters in unprecendented ways, our opponents continue to stonewall on their taxes.

    It is what was printed in the Chronicle...

    Have you written them for a correction then?
