Latte's Fact check on the press release: Mr. Bonner's assertion is mostly inaccurate. (Latte Republic would like to thank the City of Belingham for it's prompt, professional response to our query).
Update 7/28/2010
If Brett Bonner intends to be credible, he needs to do a reasonable amount of legislative research before he circulates press releases. Otherwise, Newspaper reporters like Sam Taylor and Bloggers like myself and Apexnerd, will fact check his material and publicly expose his errors.
