Walsh seems more motivated to write stories which capture imaginations more than facts. She has misrepresented the municipal bond issues for a couple of years now and helped publicize that hack Meredith Whitney and her special form of mythology.

I'm using population figures since pension reform is a fiscal issue. It will be tax collections from the citizens that address the shortfall in the pension plans so it would seem that how many citizens the state has is more relevant than the land mass.

The error is ironic, since that phrase is included in a paragraph accusing Williams Walsh of poor fact-checking.
