I am not sure if you are aware of this Howard, but the LeRoy Democratic Committee jumped all over the issue concering Jay Grasso and his posting on your sight under assumed names.

If The fact that Jerome
If The fact that Jerome Grasso performed his "sock puppet show" on this site makes it a fact. It ranks as the second most e-mailed story topic on this site. All the LDC did was present the facts to the people of Le Roy. Smear? Mr. Grasso smeared himself.
Its only a smear if someone
Its only a smear if someone else fabricated it.
