Hi Sue,
Last week I sent a message through Circling the News’ website, and I’m following up here.
We are respectfully requesting that you retract your story titled “This Can’t Go On . . .LAHSA Misses Federal Audit Deadline.” The story is factually incorrect as the deadline for LAHSA’s single audit is March 31, 2026.
Given that the article’s central premise rests on a factual error about our filing timeline, we request that the story be retracted in its entirety to prevent the further spread of misinformation.
Please confirm once the article has been removed.
Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.
Best,
Ahmad Chapman
(Editor’s note: I responded to Chapman and told him it was a Viewpoint. He responded “I’m sorry. I seem to be missing something. Are you saying that the story is an opinion piece?” To make it very clear, Viewpoint was added at the top of the piece. Campbell had asked to see the audit results, but had not received them. I suggested to Chapman that he send the audit results so CTN could post them. . . . .If only LAHSA was applying the same scrutiny to tax dollars spent on the homeless as to reading newspaper pieces.)
