http://www.sovo.com/thelatest/thelatest.cfm?blog_id=3316A Crestwood accountant who asked her state representative to support gay and lesbian civil-rights legislation next year received a reply not from the lawmaker but from an aide, who mistakenly sent comments meant for the legislator to the constituent.
"This is one of those issues where it's safe to say 'Thanks for writing, I will consider your views' and not go too far about your personal beliefs," wrote Cheryl Long of the Legislative Research Commission and an aide to Rep. David Osborne, R-Prospect. "Seriously, these people really can get out of hand! ... This particular group is much worse than pro-lifers!"
"If you reply to Ms. Amanda, make sure you delete my e-mail!" Long said of answering the e-mail from Amanda McWane.
Then Long mistakenly hit "reply" instead of "forward," sending her comments to McWane and not to Osborne as Long intended.
Osborne, who won a special election to the House in May, did not return calls seeking comment.
