More editorial board videos from RMN

"Today we had Joe Blake from the Chamber in to record his video arguments against the union amendments (53, 55, 56, 57, fiftywhatever), then Jon Anderson in here to oppose Amendment 50 before your esteemed editorial board and on video (though in defense of the casinos, I must say that if I'd gone to Black Hawk to play penny slots last weekend I wouldn't have broken my little toe on a shopping cart at Target), then the No on 48 campaign also appearing before your esteemed edit board and on camera."
