UPDATE …. Union-Trib now CONFIRMS 2 local Democrat legislators took Tobacco $$$ — credit UT politics watchdog Michael Smolens

Three days ago, SD Rostra  questioned a  U-T story which stated  only  GOP local state legislators accepted campaign funds from Tobacco firms.   U-T politics watchdog Michael Smolens replied to our post, and he apparently  took  additional action  judging from these lines now added to  the original U-T story: “Denise Ducheny, who was a senator and assemblywoman from San Diego, received $12,000.  Steve Peace, a former assemblyman and senator also from San Diego, received $3,000.”  Both Ms. Ducheny and Mr. Peace are Democrats.  SD Rostra thanks Mr. Smolens for the timely factual addition.  It is consistent with a reputation for fairness he earned as a politics reporter at the U-T.
