Ms. Jones:
Thank you very much for clarifying. If you did not say words attributed to you in the article, particularly those shown with quotation marks (e.g., “They’re offering this in Warren, where Kayleigh Raposa died,” Ms. Jones said), then there is a significant problem indeed. I will reserve further comment until Josh Bickford agrees, refutes, or clarifies your remarks in the "Reply" section.
In addition to the above example, I think many of us were troubled by this passage from the article:
Ms. Jones said it’s important for people to consider the message they’re sending when it comes to alcohol, and that by supporting an event like the Beer Fest they may be pushing alcohol consumption closer to greater acceptance.
Unlike the prior quote in which you are clearly being quoted as saying the words, the above doesn't purport to be a direct quote, but rather a recounting of your remarks.
I hope Mr. Bickford will post an addendum to the article to confirm who said what.
