Howell Promises To Keep the Big Boys Honest
State Sen. Henry E. Howell Jr. opened his Roanoke campaign headquarters to promise to keep the big boys honest.

Howell criticized the Democratic organization and said Republicans are in bed with the big boys. He released a letter urging a prompt SCC hearing on auto insurance rates following the court decision.
