The South Shore Democrat’s top aides gave conflicting reports late Tuesday on whether Jackson had planned to address his workers in a conference call and email on Wednesday, as a TV station reported.What is the deal?
But ultimately, they agreed it was not going to happen.
Rick Bryant, Jackson’s chief of staff, insisted Jackson had no plans to “break his silence” Wednesday.
“We’re not having a conference call tomorrow, no,” Bryant told the Chicago Sun-Times.
But Frank Watkins, Jackson’s spokesman, said his boss had planned to speak, but changed his mind.
“There was a conference call. I was informed the congressman was going to have a conference call with the staff at 10 a.m.,” Watkins said Tuesday night.
“All I know it was a conference call, and the congressman was going to speak to the staff,” he said.
But a few hours later he was told that the call was off.
“Chief of Staff ... Rick Bryant informed me the call was cancelled,” Watkins said.
Any here's some related reading. Ed McClelland at Ward Room answers the question many are wondering. In spite of Jesse Jr.'s absence how did the veteran Congressman get re-elected earlier this month?
