"&lt;img hspace=\"0\" border=\"0\" align=\"right\" vspace=\"0\" title=\" \t Councilman Backtracks Over TMZ's Brown Story\" src=\"http://ll-media.tmz.com/2009/09/11/0911_chris_brown-1.jpg\" alt=\"Chris Brown\" /&gt;There is a controversy regarding the story we ran about &lt;strong&gt;Chris Brown&lt;/strong&gt;'s hard labor duties in &lt;strong&gt;Virginia &lt;/strong&gt;-- the City Councilman who gave us the information claims we got our facts wrong, even though we called him and got his approval on the story before we published it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;During that call, &lt;strong&gt;Councilman Doug Conner&lt;/strong&gt; -- of the South Central 9th District, Richmond City Council -- had us make one correction regarding his responsibilities with the hard labor program. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, he's released a statement attacking the information in our article. We have tried to contact him about his accusations, but he has yet to respond. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here is his press release: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;\"The statements and information ascribed to me yesterday in the article on the celebrity news website TMZ regarding singer Chris Brown are inaccurate and untrue. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have no personal knowledge of, or information regarding, the singer Chris Brown. In speaking to a TMZ reporter, I simply related my experience with my own individual monthly District Cleanup Project in which I utilize the services of a community service program administered by the Richmond Sheriff's Office.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Some points I want to make very clear are: &lt;br /&gt;I have no knowledge of any legal arrangements regarding Chris Brown. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Richmond, Virginia does not have a 'hard labor program.' &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Virginia Commonwealth University does not have gang graffiti. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have no knowledge of any clothing attire regarding the singer Chris Brown. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have no knowledge of any times or schedules regarding anything to do with the singer Chris Brown. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have no knowledge of any purported duties regarding the singer Chris Brown. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have no knowledge of any purported management or supervision regarding the singer Chris Brown. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Richmond does not have a 'Department of Corrections.' &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;I am unaware of any purported transportation arrangements regarding Chris Brown.\" &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;\n&lt;div class=\"clear\"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;\n&lt;br /&gt; &lt;img hspace=\"0\" height=\"70\" border=\"0\" align=\"left\" width=\"14\" vspace=\"0\" src=\"http://ll-media.tmz.com/2009/09/11/spacer-1.gif\" alt=\"\" /&gt;&lt;a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://www.tmz.com/photos/2009/02/07/1669-chris-brown-and-rihanna\"&gt;&lt;img hspace=\"0\" border=\"0\" vspace=\"0\" title=\"Rihanna and Chris Brown\" alt=\"chris brown rihanna pictures\" src=\"http://ll-media.tmz.com/2009/09/11/0622_a_chris_rihanna_203-1.jpg\" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
