In my Examiner post commenting on the La. 3rd District race, I incorrectly stated that Hunt Downer had supported the Stelly tax. In fact, his campaign just emailed me to let me know I was wrong about that. He voted against it. I’ve asked my editor at the Examiner to update the article with my correction and apology, but in the meantime, let me say here (where I can post the correction immediately myself) that I was wrong.
Hunt Downer voted against the Stelly tax, and a year after its passage, even proposed its repeal.
I am sorry for the error.
