- Mayor Rybak denies KSTP report that he may not seek re-election
We got an unexpected phone call yesterday from KSTP 5 Eyewitness news reporter Jay Kolls in response to our post about Mayor R.T. Rybak taking to Facebook to deny the station's claim that he was considering not running for re-election.
Kolls emphatically stands by his report. "Absolutely, 100% standing by it. He says it on tape!"
Mayor Rybak attacked KSTP's reporting in a Sunday night Facebook post that left little room for doubt.

But Kolls says that it's as simple as listening to the KSTP tape of Rybak's own words.

So Kolls was surprised to awake Monday morning to see the news of Rybak trashing him on Facebook.
"I take great exception because his quote on his Facebook says I made it up," Kolls says. "I'm furious about that. You can say you disagree with tone, what the implied message was -- I get that crap all the time. But do not tell 10,000 followers on Facebook I made it up."
Mayor Rybak's office declined comment, saying, "We're just gonna let this one lie."
