Sound Off for June 7, 2017

Self-fulfilling survey

Councilman Walker Garrett is absolutely right about the Landmark Communications poll about a proposed smoke-free ordinance. It’s called a "Push Poll," intended to influence opinion and get the results the American Heart Association paid for.

Attacks make votes sway toward candidates who would be tough on terror and restrict immigration of potential terrorists, so why would terrorists intentionally attack right before elections, John Tures?

Ex-CEO Secretary of State Tillerson is probably not accustomed to a minor seat at the back of the bus.
