Mitch,

You may be right in defending Julie Robinson. It’s entirely possible that, when speaking to the reporter, her complete statement was diced and then reused. But, I still maintain that the amount of legislation passed during the short session is being touted as a “successful session” in order to deflect criticism — which was the crux of my post.

I think this defense flows from a sound clip on WUNC (which I heard on the morning after the session closed, though can’t locate the sound bite) and this news report.

I think the story’s leading nature is more reflective of reality than the reporter may have realized.
