A fax from Dianne Bellamy-Small to the N&R:

“I am not, nor have I been the source of the leak of the RMA report. I have felt from the beginning of this leak that the focus of the real issue has been side tracked and that this has been a divisive attempt to discredit my effectiveness on the council and to not deal with the real issues of the alleged in the RMA report.

“I know that the News & Record can clear me of being the source of the leak. I do not know who or how the report go into the hands that it is now in.”
