This morning, we posted a statement from Gov. Musgrove on the Politics Blog addressing several of the substantive issues in our questionnaire. And House 66 candidate Chris Klotz sent over his free-expression answers, which we added to his page. (We’re rather impressed with how Klotz is making time to answer our questions, even in chunks. We haven’t heard from his opponent at all, yet.) Head on over and check out the latest round of answers.
