Minnick, Labrador Each Want Apology

Wednesday, John Foster, campaign spokesman for Rep. Walt Minnick ... called on (Republican challenger) Raul Labrador ... to apologize for sending out a campaign e-mail that, Foster said, denigrated Idaho businesses.  Thursday, China Veldhouse Gum, acting spokesperson for the Labrador campaign, fired back at Foster, saying that Minnick has much more to apologize for than does her candidate. The controversy was due in part to a line of text in a e-mail message the Labrador campaign sent out to supporters earlier this month/Dustin Hurst, Idaho Reporter. More here. (AP Photo).

Question: Did Labrador denigrate Idaho businesses?
