[Vision2020] Courtney's Numbers

[Sue Hovey]

I would suggest someone--Tom, maybe, call the DN and ask Murf to accept a 
refutation based on this information.  Murf is quite willing when one has a 
response to chicanery already printed, even when the deadline has passed. 
He did that for us last year so we could respond to the garbage that 
appeared right before Shirley's re-election.
