Read All About It

They did all the work, so they deserve all the credit. Read it here and we can all talk about it later. What are we talking about? Read the Trib!

My favorite part, other than the obvious results:

Coffey disagreed with the poll results.

“I heard people were sitting there pushing numbers multiple times,” Coffey said. “The numbers are so much higher of people saying, ‘Let’s fix our problems and then worry about the others (city projects).’”


Executive Editor Kozarovich, of course, points out that Coffey's public announcement of cheating wasn't even possible, explaining that only one button push was recorded per call.

Coffey's does make a valid point, though. A growing number are suggesting the city fix its problems. He's just not savvy enough to realize that he is a problem. Luckily, his own ridiculous pronouncements make that clear to everyone else.

More from today's Tribune:

"TUCKER: Letter perception is not reality"

Most of the letters that we end up having problems with are ones that are loose with the facts. We can’t have someone accuse another person of stealing chickens if there is no poultry theft conviction to back it up … we also won’t print a letter, no matter how well stated, that has been sent to us anonymously.

So THAT'S why Erika(a) doesn't appear in the Tribune.

Leave it to someone who still has a rotary dial phone to use his cluelessness as an excuse to misinterpret polling techniques.
