I'm asking this question because I believe it is very

has not cancelled his fundraiser at the Kaplan's.
We figured that the two article in the Strib...and the clear fact that he
has broken another campaign promise would result in his advisors coaching him

could publish early online?
Heck a reason for people to discover local content sources online.

Several times in the last two years the MPRB has done backroom deals without even informing all of its commissioners
