Editor's Note: On Tuesday, we reported that the Hays Free Press reached out to Lila Knight regarding comment on several questions on her filing of a recall petition against Becky Selbera. Knight responded to a Hays Free Press Oct. 13 email on Thursday. Knight was upset with the Hays Free Press after she didn’t receive a call for comment on the story.
The Hays Free Press sought comment by replying to a late email Knight had initiated on Oct. 12. The Hays Free Press did not try to contact her via phone. She said she didn’t respond due to her being "extremely busy” with the Planning and Zoning Commission’s meeting over a proposed truck stop in Kyle. She said she “couldn’t drop everything and get back” to the Hays Free Press’ email and that "you never gave me a deadline as to when I should respond to your questions.”
The Hays Free Press erred in its email and did not state a deadline for reply.
