Sometimes it's hard to believe Sirota is serious ... Anyway, simply because a person is a Republican or Democrat in his or her life doesn't mean we identify him or her with an R or D after their name and title. Aurora councilpeople run unaffiliated so to identify them by party the way you did with an (R) is factually incorrect. You made it up. Any editor at any reputable newspaper would tell you as much. And any editor would ask for a correction.
