The flyer claims that Acton “was called ‘incompetent’ to the Ohio State Medical Board.” V-PAC spokesperson Conor McGuinness admitted Acton was never described as “incompetent” to the Ohio State Medical Board: “This was simply a typo that appeared on one piece of mail — our copy editor missed it.”

“In [a] Fort Worth-area suburb... getting answers about how police use their Flock Safety cameras could cost $2.3 million. Or at least, that’s how much the city is charging a Flock watchdog... after he filed a public records request for information about the city’s AI-powered cameras.”
