Mayor Meyera E. Oberndorf told the City Council Thursday that she never insulted Fraternal Order of Police president Al Byrum.
A story in Thursday's MetroNews section of The Virginian-Pilot about police officers' request for higher pay increases quoted her as calling Byrum a ``lying junkyard dog.''
Oberndorf opened Thursday's public hearing on the budget by stating that she had not made the comments attributed to her and that she valued the contribution of the city's Police Department. by CNB
