Neil was gone by the time the cougartail bar was launched and ultimately he is making a totally separate argument than the anonymous sources are and quite frankly not one that anyone else is claiming or reporting because the initial agreement was really well covered by local and national media and never talked about what he s claiming in his quote

Im not sure what the deal is with Neil if he has an axe to grind or what but regardless seems like as a journalist you d wanna follow up that claim with somebody else rather than just publish it
