MATHESON: Don't believe the attack

I am writing in response to a letter recently submitted by Mr. Bland of Cougar Gulch where he attacks Republican Kootenai County treasurer candidate Steve Matheson. Mr. Bland has manufactured a fictitious background for candidate Steve Matheson in sub-prime mortgage-backed securities. Using this inaccurate background, Mr. Bland dispenses blame to Mr. Matheson for deceiving investors in markets around the world. Shame on you Mr. Bland!
