Re: “In Negative Turn, Dunne Ties Minter to EB-5 Scandal”
This is deeply disconcerting. The fact that the Administration was already investigating Quiros and Sue decided to sign the contract anyways citing best practices is enough for me to question if I should vote for her or not. This is a huge error in judgment. Hiding behind the fact that the previous Secretary signed the contract does not pass the smell test. As Secretary, Sue was responsible for these efforts and if something was wrong -- she should not have signed it. Period. The fact that they had another company sub-contract is even more distressing.
The more I read about this, the more I feel that Sue is simply not up to the task of being Governor. Which is sad to me. Coupled with her checkered statements on wind energy and now this, I feel bad but I don't believe I can support Sue Minter moving forward.

Re: “With $95k Loan, Dunne Breaks Pledge to Limit Self-Financing”
Hey Paul - Do you have some personal issue with Matt Dunne? Just curious since your coverage of Dunne has been so....negative...always...
Just saying that the optics of your writing seem to harp on the negative and the horse race instead of the issues like energy, healthcare, and childcare. You do a great disservice to our civil discourse. While this issue is important, your jabs are just immature and lack the impartiality that we expect from real journalists; which makes me question your motives. You are simply not on the same playfield as your colleague Terri or VPR's Pete Hirschfield.
