Rush Radio is still reporting that Guilford County Commission chairman Skip Alston is heading to Reno for a conference along with other Democratic commissioners —to the tune of $10k—- while the N&R runs a correction to yesterday’s story, saying “a county clerk was holding was holding a hotel room him, but Alston decided Wednesday not to go because of another commitment.”

It could be that Skip heard an earful from his constituents. It could also be that he decided not to go just to spite his not-so- favorite county beat reporter.
