Fahner Ad Attacks Focused on Drug Bills Tone Sparks Response
A political ad by Attorney General Tyrone Fahner labeled Richmond and Rea as opposing drug control measures. Richmond denounced the claim as a lie and political manipulation while Rea called the ad misleading though he supports one bill. Fahner’s committee purchased 21 statewide ads at $423.36 each, arguing open government and targeting drug-trafficking legislation.
