In the past two weeks, a Project Sail publicity brochure has begun appearing in mailboxes. Featuring images of families in clothing emblazoned with the American flag, the mailing appeared to be an attempt to appeal to the conservative-leaning county’s sense of patriotism.

That's so blatant.

Probably the only reason it isn't working is that the company behind it is based in Silicon Valley.

They're going to have to find someone "from around here". (And go behind their backs to pay off city leadership.)
