MASON CITY, Iowa (AP) - In a Nov. 14 story about a billboard in Mason City equating President Barack Obama's policies with socialism, The Associated Press incorrectly reported that Mark Tlusty of Rockford paid for the sign. Sign company owners said another person paid for the sign and listed Tlusty's name as a contact.
