Standard-Examiner Letter: Herbert Can Get Lots More Than Ten Grand For Political Favors

Thanks to a timely tip from an alert WCF reader, we're delighted this morning to shine the spotlight on a freshly-posted Standard-Examiner Letter to the Editor, written by one of our very own frequent blog contributors.
