As the "Quotation Marks" indicate in the article, I understand that Jesse White's office authored the Press Release. Shame on them for wrong info. I regret any confusion with my comment. It is my hope that we remember this snafu on future Election Days. Some of these "caught blindsided" officials/politicians need to be put out to pasture. This "Rockford-Gate" stinks like Nixon's" "Watergate". Let the recalls/impeachments begin... *Anon: My point exactly.

It also shows a lack of error-correcting by the agency who issued this press release. I honestly don't know which of these I feel is worse.

Just one more SLAP in the face to the Rockford area... Re: *”The old facility has been operating in that location since 1994.” … Ha! More like since before 1970.
