This is from the Gouverneur Times, the Waterton NY newspaper in the
district. They are expanding the story from yesterday. Here is a portion
of the article:

"According to Politico.com, Mr. Owens assured voters that he felt the
public option had no place in the health care reform bill. Contrary to
that position, Mr. Owens now indicates that he intends to vote in favor
of the bill even though it now contains a public option.

"UPDATED: A spokesman for Congressman Owens indicated
correctly that Mr. Owens had recanted his solid position against public
option later in the campaign, clarifying that he did not wish public
option to be a 'litmus test' for the Health Reform bill and that on Oct.
30th, several days prior to the election, in a debate had stated that he
generally supported the public option as it was now written (at that
time.)

"Mr. Owens also indicated during his campaign that he was firmly
opposed to cutting Medicare benefits, taxing health care benefits, and
increased taxes on the middle class in any way as you can see clearly
in the screenshot below, taken directly from Mr. Owens' campaign
website."

Follow the link and you can see the screenshot from his own
campaign website as well as read the rest of the article.

You owe me an apology too Balz, but needless to say I don't expect
one.
