this is a campaign .”“We are going to the voters and saying, ‘would you please give us $43 or more a year of your money?’ which is a serious ask,” Giles continued. “So yes, we need to put this on the ballot, but more importantly, we need to work with labor groups and anyone else to campaign out there to help people understand why it is important to vote for it.”

What is SPIN FISHING? What does SPIN FISHING mean? SPIN FISHING meaning,...
VIDEO Hmmm. mebbe reading too much into this applying this definition to influencing public opinion and public relations campaigns and what's called news, 'spinning the story' ... basically it's BAIT. This is a brief streaming vid if you are interested in all the applications and ramifications in a much broader context.
Spin fishing is an angling technique where a spinning lure is used to entice the fish to bite. Spin fishing is used in both freshwater and marine environments. Spin fishing is distinguished between fly fishing and bait cast fishing by the type of rod and reel used. There are two types of reels used when spin fishing, the open faced reel and the closed faced reel. The spin fishing rod has no trigger attached to the base of the fishing rod. This is what differentiates the spin fishing rod from the bait casting fishing rod.
“With the growth of our community, I think any reasonable voter that looks into this thing is going to support it,” Giles said, “but I think it’s incumbent on all of us to realize this is a campaign.”
