I thought (think actually) the two were in very close proximity.

I find articles citing Silver (allegedly) threatening Charlotte as far back as March 25th.

The Atlanta city council pulled their little grandstand ploy back on March 30th


Is the distinction here -- which I missed if so -- that the initial reports about Silver's threats didn't include an apparently phony quote?
