AG Investigating Bogus Press Release

The Times-Picayune reports that the Louisiana Attorney General's office is investigating a Mississippi native for allegedly sending out a fake press release indicating the Governor Blanco was willing to settle the oysterman suit. "The person who did this was certainly trying to influence a certain crowd that the governor wanted to settle the case ... I don't know how many people are out there who still believe that the governor wants to settle the case," Denise Bottcher, Blanco's press secretary stated.
