A confident and somewhat contrite Chriss Streetmet with reporters today, resolved against resigning and saying that his problems are simply “rumor and innuendo” and are ”more about style than they are about substance.”
With his lawyer, Phil Greer, whispering in his ear – and a staff of ten working on a three-inch binder containing his response to each of the many issues – Street said he has learned lessons over the last few months. Actions that are “benign in the private sector take on a whole new mearning when viewed through the prism of elective office.”
Street then took the more than dozen members of the media on a tour of his office, touting his many efficiencies. When reporters pressed him on his relationship with Supe John Moorlach, he repeated several times that he respects Moorlach but will continue on in his job even if the board strips him of his investment powers.
I’ll be filing a web story and hope to get back here to the blog to pull out other pieces of the hour-and-a-half presser.

You are sooooo negative about everything. If you write something good, you try to make it sound bad anyway. What’s up with this?
You are planning to tell us where the most negative blog comments came from too, right?
We decided to check for ourselves. Treasurer_Tax Collector Street was at a charity function last Friday morning, not huddled with his attorney as you said. It was not hard to check this out. We also heard the organization sent a letter to the Register so you could correct this error, but it did not get printed.
Ms. Lowe,
Thank you for your continuing coverage of the Street fiasco.
Please keep up your reporting and ignore the partisan bleatings.
