[edit] Cleanup tagging

This has been released by the copyright holder, but I have tagged it for cleanup, both because it needs some formatting work and because it currently reflects the (pro-Bradbourne) POV of the original source. --Robth^Talk 04:43, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Third Opinion

I'm responding to the third opinion request. Although I don't see a comment by whoever posted that tag, I do agree that the current version reads like recycled press releases, not an objective article. Recommendations for a rewrite by someone familiar with Mr. Bradbourn's career: 1. Biography (of his career) 2. Personal life (brief section - if married, kids) 3. Current committee memberships, etc. 4. Major legislation introduced 5. Political platform 6. Controversy: smoking comment

For an example of a reasonably well written and edited article about a legislator, see Ted Kennedy. VisitorTalk 16:32, 17 September 2007 (UTC)
