Letter: Growing Cost Of Government
I want to commend the Centre View for covering the candidate's forum at Chantilly High School. The questions from the students and teachers were excellent and well informed, and it was my privilege to represent the Romney campaign. I would like to correct a statement in which I was misquoted about the U.S. economy in response to a question about unemployment being 7.8 percent.
