Viaero not yet a sponsor

An article on the Comstock Music Series in Friday's Independent incorrectly described Viaero Wireless' status as a sponsor.

Statement was Thursday

The news release from the city regarding its latest violation of wastewater discharges was issued on Thursday. The day the news release was sent was incorrect in Friday's newspaper.
