Correction

A letter from Jane Harrison in the May 8 edition of SMN, “Meadows in the wrong on background checks,” was edited incorrectly. It was written as an open letter to Sen. Richard Burr, R-N.C., and not to Rep. Mark Meadows, R-Cashiers. The letter referred to the gun control debate in the Senate and said Sen. Burr was on the wrong side of the background checks issue. We regret the error.

We don’t plan to change that model. Support from our readers will help us maintain and strengthen the editorial independence that is crucial to our mission to help make Western North Carolina a better place to call home. If you are able, please support The Smoky Mountain News.
