Keystone Politics reported a story on Tuesday night that Chris Hackett's campaign had been handing out flag pins made in China during the Independence Day Parade in Montrose.
It appears the investigation into Hackett's "Flag-gate" has officially concluded and the details have been released.
Today, the Citizen's Voice followed-up on the story with more information on the origin of the pins. An E-mail statement from campaign manager Mark Harris claims: "They weren’t our pins to begin with, but we thought it was a nice thing for folks to have on the Fourth of July, so we passed them out. I don’t think we even noticed where they were made, but obviously we would prefer they be made in America."

I like how the local rags follow up on a story that a blogger first reports but doesn't cite the source.
Yesterday the CV did a story about Kanjo's Nanticoke earmark that you first reported.
Whenever I ask the local reporters about that they always tell me that they have their own sources. I'm sure they do but who pointed them to the story?
