Republican Dale Also a Veteran
RECEIVED Fri., Oct. 12, 2012
Dear Chronicle,
I know your paper is liberal in its politics, but is there a reason why Richard Whittaker [“Can Dems Flip the Suburbs?,” News, Oct. 12] made sure to mention that Democrat Chris Frandsen in House District 47 is an "infantry veteran" while somehow leaving out the fact that Republican Tony Dale in HD 136 (and his wife) are veterans of the U.S. Army? I personally know that Tony Dale's service is something of which he is rightly proud. He has consistently been an advocate and supporter of veterans and military members in our community. Surely, this was just an unbiased oversight on your part, right?

P.S. p.s. Lakeline and Brushy Creek aren't towns.
[Richard Whittaker replies: Tony Dale's military service is a matter of public record, but this was an article about the Democrats in the race and how Democrats are approaching these races, rather than a full examination of all candidates.]
