The Democratic National Committee is up with the web advertisement (see video below) – in addition to a shorter 30-second bit in Virginia, New Mexico, North Carolina, Ohio, Pittsburgh and Wisconsin – highlighting what they see as Mitt Romney’s changes of heart on a variety of issues (from abortion to the President’s stimulus plan to recent ballot measures in Ohio) all interspersed with TV pundits and late-night talk show hosts taking aim at the GOP frontrunner.
Mr. Mattison and Mr. Freeman submitted this Freedom of Information request to the new Health Department Administrator, Cynthia Frank, and FOIA Officer, Bill Hatfield. Based upon the reason for the request—perhaps the public will get a better idea of what is going on.
Why did it take 10 months for the Board of Health to review and approve minutes from 2010?
