Special thanks to readers for sending us this news item, we asked around and here's why it's a big deal:

Tony Miller is a 3rd District At-Large Legislator but his progressive voting record looks like he hangs out a coffee shop in the Crossroads all day. 

A trusted insider puts it even better . . .

Democratic Party primaries in Jackson County are NEVER dull and we look forward to seeing how this one plays out.
