David,
I actually got them from the director of a local artist coop with which I
work who got them from someone name Lynn Ahrens, but if you are really
curious I suppose I could track it down further.
Do you think they might be mistaken or is it just a prudent request before
passing them on?
I know the death penalty statistic is accurate and have little doubt about
the other poverty stats.
