In the News: Dennis Coates, Laura Hussey, Roy Meyers, Don Norris

Laura Hussey (Political Science) discussed the public's anxiety about the NSA and the scope of its operations in an article in the Hagerstown Herald Mail.
The Austin-American Statesman PolitiFact quoted Roy Meyers (Political Science) in a story about how the Texas Liberty PAC erroneously blamed a Republican House member for sponsoring "a bill that funded Obamacare."
