This comment has nothing to do with the Daily Numbers...I just wanted to thank you and the Daily Times for your commitment to fairness. Too many news organizations keep the deck stacked one way or the other, or engage in empty "he said/she said" reporting. But the Daily Times seems dedicated to portraying the positions of both sides fairly, while calling "BS" when the situation warrants it. That's all we as readers can ask for. It's appreciated.
