The paper withdrew its endorsement Friday, following additional revelations for which the editorial board said Moore did not provide sufficient answers. The 51-year-old has been attempting to fend off questions about his residency in recent days, which had been discussed by Wedge Live! over the summer but did not gain traction publicly until an Oct. 19 report from the Star Tribune s newsroom.
Moore affirmed some of the paper s reporting in a rebuttal, acknowledging he has lived in a home in Minneapolis Ward 8 (blocks from Ward 9, he says) for 38 years and has a home in Oak Grove (25 miles from Ward 9) they use for "weekends, holidays and vacations."
