    What is PolitiFact and why do they feel we are interested in their opinion? What a ridiculous article to point out all the reasons one might look at the record and decide in broad brush that Stacey is correct, but then find a few comments here and there and pronounce the statement false! Such baloney. The difference between Stacey and Hughes is small, subtle and significant. Hughes is not strongly for infill and when land is needed for development he would be more likely to release farmland. He also runs with the groups less likely to support conservation and given Washington County's performance the last few years, coming out of that isn't a plus.
