PAPAROZZI CLARIFIES FLEET MESS. IMPLORES APP TO REPORT ACCURATELY



County Administrator Lou Paparozzi did an admirable job responding to the APP's "Monmouth Vehicle Fleet Grows" propaganda which was published last Sunday.

Anyone who bothered to read the front page story realized the headline didn't match the "facts" reported in the story. Cullinane and Hidlay were once again twisting the facts and only reporting part of the story, just as they did with the Legal Department reforms articles back in August.

Lou ends his piece, "Once again, we implore the Press to report all of the facts, and in the proper context."

That's a reasonable request, and it would better serve the APP's readers.
