Take note of the last paragraph in this AP story on fired Health and Human Services spokesperson Debbie Crane’s speech at Elon University’s Sunshine Week:

Crane, a public-information officer for 18 years, said she was kind of glad to leave her position because she hadn’t been sleeping well. Her role as a public liaison changed from one of providing information to one of spinning information to protect the Easley administration, she said, noting that Easley officials demanded that officers not return calls to the conservative John Locke Foundation.
