Poll Results: Folks say 'rein in the PMUA'



The PMUA poll closed this morning.

I didn't vote because I have no idea what "reining in" the PM UA would entail. Could you elaborate please??

To 7:40 AM --

'Rein in' is the phrase the Courier headline writer used when putting Mapp's piece into the paper, and I guess I fell for it.

Read Mapp's proposal for his point of view.

The rein in Plainfield falls mainly on the headline writers......

Two cute puns, but blaming your poll question on the Courier is not not that helpful.

The Mapp plan may have merit, but by framing the question with the pejorative phrase "rein in" you guaranteed the results you wanted in a town where almost no one has a good thing to say about the PMUA.

You may as well have asked, "Do you want to live through tomorrow"?, or "Would you prefer not to pay taxes this year"? Your results would be about the same.
