I was reading the Wisconsin State Journal the other day . . . I know, I know . . . but its not quite as bad as listening to AM radio which I often do as well.
Anyways, I was reading the Wisconsin State Journal the other day and I found out that Zach Brandon is now the chair of the Board of Estimates! That’s right, starting off the 3rd paragraph it says:
Congratulations on the promotion Alder Brandon. I wonder what the Mayor thinks of that? More time to eat dinner with his wife, I guess.
So, I’m used to the editorial pages really screwing up their facts, but usually not on the news side. Even if this is a new reporter or one who doesn’t usually cover city activities, the editor should have caught this. Unless they really do want to mislead the public?
Note: The Mayor chairs the Board of Estimates. In his absence, the council president (Mike Verveer) traditionally chairs the meeting. And if both are absent it would likely be the pro tem (Tim Bruer) or the most senior member (Tim Bruer).
