Yes...they are all pretty hard to believe.......but one of those did not go quietly into that good night like the other two.
If we are striving for balanced/even discussion it should be pointed out that Wright did not "pay off Duffy"...he repaid the taxpayer money that Duffy owed but felt he shouldn't (or perhaps couldn't) pay back. Not sure why it was spun so secretly (personally I think they could have turned that into a positive with voters by taking a "we think it should be paid back to the taxpayer, so the CPC is repaying it and we will try and recover it from Mr. Duffy" stance...but, sure, the way they did it it is hard to believe that people who said they did not know actually didn't know).
