    Publisher's note: For a little over a week, we have not published the Governor McCroy Press Releases due to one reason: The media department of Team McCroy erroneously dropped Symbiotic Publishing Company from their media list. I don't know why, they don't know why ... stuff happens.

    Furthermore, I am so busy that sometimes I do do not notice stuff until the smoke clears on the weekends. With this that weekend and the correction of this miscue in place, I will publish most of the press releases - the most essential ones - that we missed, and with the correction of this miscue, we will return to publishing these press releases, which are often very popular, on a timely basis.
