Casa’s gaffe, Frederick’s loss – Frederick County, Maryland From: fredericknewspost.com

Good strategy if the numbers and facts were solid. They weren’t. Despite a detailed 30-page report with 81 endnotes describing the research, errors in logic and math left gaping holes and biased interpretations.

In response to the criticism, Casa executive director Gus Torres accused the sheriff’s office, in last week’s Gazette, of shunning Freedom of Information Act requests. The group moved ahead without the info, he wrote, because the situation warranted action.

Casa should rewrite its report, and have it verified by a neutral party. If the sheriff is withholding anything, he’d do well to hand it over. In the meantime, advocacy groups are quietly monitoring the program and let’s hope any resulting reports are scrupulous and above reproach.”*
