Gannett Reports Kuhl "Flip-Flop"

Both the Elmira Star-Gazette and the Rochester Democrat and Chronicle picked up a Gannett News Service article describing the discrepancy between Randy Kuhl's vote and the press release on his web site. The D&C article, which ran far inside on page 5B, also noted that every other Member of Congress in the Rochester area voted for the measure.

Kuhl's press secretary, Bob Van Wicklin, blames a "miscommunication" for the discrepancy between Kuhl's vote and the press release. Bob apparently improved the lines of communication in Kuhl's office, because the press release has finally been taken down from Kuhl's website. Here's a copy [pdf] in case anyone missed it.

Thanks to Reader Elmer for the S/G link.

Update: Elmer also sent in the front-page coverage [pdf] and the jump [pdf] from the Hornell Evening Tribune. Elmer notes that the Star-Gazette story also ran on the front page. Another example of the difference in media attention in the Rochester market versus the Southern Tier.
