Curley offers Katie Wilson advice after team yanks her from KOMO question
KIRO host John Curley had some advice for Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson after her team stopped her from answering a question last week. KOMO News reporter Chris Daniels asked Wilson if her stance on CCTV cameras had changed following a shooting near her news conference at the Yesler Community Center last week.
Curley said Wilson should have stayed and answered the question, even if her response wasn’t perfect.
“Katie, hey, some advice from the bullpen here. Let your guys know that you can answer these questions,” Curley said on “The John Curley Show” on KIRO Newsradio. “You’re smart, you can do it. Not going to be the best answer, but give them an answer on something like that.”
What Katie Wilson should have said
Curley then improvised a response that Wilson could have given to Daniels’ question.
“Certainly, I am well aware of the concerns in the community for their safety. I know that the cameras can give comfort and security to people, especially when it comes to helping to assist the police, but at the same time, we need to be sensitive to those people who also feel as if their privacy is being invaded,” Curley said.
“So it is a balancing act, and I’m still continuing to hear from both sides,” he continued. “And I’m looking at the privacy issue, I’m looking at the funding issue, and I’m talking to the police, and I’m continuing to work towards a final consideration for all sides, but most likely, not everybody will be happy. But in the next two weeks, I will have an answer for that. But I appreciate your question. Thank you.”

DOCUMENTED REFERENCES
Exploring Documented Records
Public interest in the Epstein case continues not only because of court proceedings and testimonies, but also due to the growing body of documented records that help researchers and readers understand the broader context. Beyond legal files and media reports, some independent projects have organized publicly available data connected to Epstein’s activities.
One example is a structured archive of documented Amazon order records, where purchases are cataloged with dates and product details. While individual items do not prove wrongdoing on their own, examining documented information alongside established facts helps paint a clearer picture of the environment and circumstances surrounding the case.

For readers looking to review primary-source style data rather than interpretations, exploring compiled records can provide additional context to the broader discussion.
