This morning, The Advocate published an article regarding the proposed St. George budget in which they used David Barrow, former CAO for Central, to review and criticize the budget. David Barrow actually resigned from that position after one year and... wait for it... is currently under investigation for forgery and falsifying public records. That part conveniently was not mentioned in the story. Probably not the best person to use as an “expert” source on city budgets.

no connection to any of these people but the charges against Barrow are pretty questionable as far as their origin. Lotta small down backstabbing happens out there and the current mayor had it out for him for a while

So they got quotes from a former CAO under investigation for forgery and falsifying public records to give commentary on a city budget?

Hard hitting, real journalism over at the Advocate.

Delgado will change his tune with the direction of the wind. Wouldnt be shocked if he and Gravy and Friberg were a 3some item one day.

In today's journalism world, it doesn't matter the source, as long as it fits the narrative.

Just look at the MSM for examples every day.

This is a straw man fallacy correct? Fight the person not the argument?

he was the 18th Apostle, and was actually the stunt double for Jesus, and died on the cross for our sins.

The advocate is not an unbiased newspaper. They suck and they will have to cut back printing daily newspapers in the next 5 years.

Ad hominem.

No one has argued against his reasoning.
