PUC Commissioner-elect Dustin "Dusty" Johnson has G-mailed our courageous dynamic Publisher to thank him for paying attention to the PUC race. He also wanted to clarify that he did appear on screen in one of his two campaign commercials. The Mike Rounds ad that we saw, he claims, only ran during the last ten days of the race. This is only one that we saw. The other one that he talks about is one that nobody connected with the Holabird Advocate, including Readers, had evidently seen.

After investigating this matter, and coming up empty, we have decided to give the rightfully elected Commissioner the benefit of the doubt and believe that he is being honest (a lot to expect from a politician, but we'll risk it). We also wish to extend our apologies to Commissioner-elect Johnson, His wife Jacquelyn, and each and every one of their children, born and unborn. We also thank him for wanting to set the record straight himself, and we promise to do better by him in the future.
