I hope that for the most part, RoaneViews can stay focused on local issues. Every once in a while, however, we need to broaden our understanding and see how misleading PR releases can confuse things and make straight forward resolution of issues difficult. Frankly, I don't expect a spin proof message from either political party but this is a bit much.
