What do you think of the Weekly's allegations of evasiveness on the part of Simon?

I searched the LA Times archives for clues, and it seems like Simon gets to comment on most major issues, although I get the feeling it's mostly through prepared statements.

But I don't see any stories leading with "Bill Simon says ..."

I think he should start talking directly to the press, if he's not already. He has to get in practice so that his early mistakes can be forgotten.
