Errors in old controversies section edit

I reworking the Controversies section (and combined it with the prior section), because it was error-laden, confusing and misleading. It doesn't match the facts described in the source article. In fact, it gives the opposite impression of the article. The source article described Williams as standing up for the citizen delegation. The wiki article impression, in contrast, seems to imply that Williams was trying to intimidate the delegation. First of all, controversy sections are discouraged. They should be integrated into the section. The title suggests that Williams did something controversial and that there were plural, multiple incidents. The wiki stated they were her constituents but the source doesn't say whose constituents they were. The wiki described plural dogs, while the source says there was a dog. The wiki says they were just there to visit Williams's office, while the source article states they were visit multiple representatives. Overall, the wiki section seemed directed to giving the false impression that Williams used police and dogs to intimidate citzens who opposed her. But the source article states that Williams had a scheduled appointment with the citizens. In addition, the group were opponents of the budget of Williams political opponent, Gov. Kasich. The source article states that Williams came down when she heard about the police presence. Williams was actually the one quoted as calling it "intimidating". She was critical of the police presence. --JamesAM (talk) 18:04, 21 April 2012 (UTC)Reply
