Other Katherine news includes the editor of Sarasota Herald Tibune being asked to resign due to biased comments about Katherine by the liberal newspaper employee. This was a surprising turnabout considering the liberal nature of this paper in such a republican area. So the other reporters are allowed to give biased news, they just can't be too obvious about it in an email or they might be asked to resign.
Aside from that Katherine has been incredibly busy going from coffee to barbq to grassroots meeting. As their office stated in reference to their furry opponent percy, the opponents have a lot of paw-shaking to do to catch up with them.
