Bob Shifts Gears - after trailing in polls

Since I'm still blocked at htrnews.com I will duplicate all entries I make there, here.

Commenting on the article:

Like Puppet0Master I have been doing some behind the scenes reporting too.
He has the story right. The union did want the State program which would have been cheaper and Bob did want a 4 year contract - which he is trying to revisit now.

Another thing that I have discovered is that his statement about nobody complaining is bull.
I have spoken to more than one who did in fact complain and were slapped down for it behind the scenes.
Those people cant come forward because of Bob's publicly stated policy of not talking to the media or other outside sources.
If Mr. Matthews did any actual reporting he would know this (and maybe does) but he prints the stennography anyway.

As to the shift in approach?
There's nothing like trailing in the polls to get a pol to shift gears!
