The paid political ads of Rep. Bill Thomas are deceitful and an insult to the voters of Haines. While the political ad campaign pretends to be a spontaneous outpouring of gratitude from a number of Haines businesses, it is instead a carefully coordinated scheme by Thomas and his campaign officers to trick Haines voters. It is also […]
