D209’s master plan taking shape At least $77M could be earmarked for early stage long-term capital works

By MICHAEL ROMAIN Editor

Proviso Township High Schools District 209 officials are getting closer to finalizing a facilities master plan. During a regular meeting on Sept. 18, district officials, along with outside architectural and financial consultants, laid out cost projections and capital priorities related to the plan.

District 209 Supt. Jesse Rodriguez said that the plan could be completed and presented to the board for approval before the year is out.

During the Sept. 18 board meeting, Mark Jolicoeur, an architect with Perkins and Will, said that architects have met with the master plan steering committee and leadership teams at each school in order to prioritize capital needs.

The architects then categorized the general master facilities priorities into three different sub-groups: curriculum, site and infrastructure. In addition, each subSee D209 MASTER PLAN on page 3

I stand by my reporting on PMSA

By MICHAEL ROMAIN Editor | Opinion

For a brief moment during a Sept. 18 regular meeting of the Proviso Township High Schools District 209 school board, the local newspapers became the topic of discussion. The subject was our handling of the facilities master plan process that has been going on at the district for a year now.

the village free press

I (representing Village Free Press) and my colleagues at Forest Park Review have reported on the process from the beginning (before the school board hired Perkins and Will to help draft the plan) until that Sept.

18 meeting, when representatives from the architectural firm, school board members and Supt. Jesse Rodriguez seemed to cast an important part of our coverage in a cloud of suspicion.

“The newspaper stated that PMSA was going to close,” Rodriguez said. “And then they stated that PMSA is not going to close.

They’re utilizing information that they receive in the board meeting in a way that they understand it, but what they and the public should know is that no decision has been made.”

On Sept. 28, Garfield Elementary School, 1514 S. 9th Ave. in Maywood, hosted its first-ever Grandparents Day. The school’s PTO has already held a Men’s Day for the last several years.

A new church planted in Maywood On Sept. 30, one of Proviso Township’s newest churches held its first Sunday service inside of the gymnasium of the former Lexington Elementary School, 415 Lexington St. in Maywood. The church’s co-pastors, Byron and Nikeisha Wicks, are the founders of Parkside Sunday School, a children’s outreach ministry launched in 2017 that “takes the gospel to the parks in Maywood and Bellwood,” according to the church’s website.

The couple was ordained as pastors on April 15.

They were youth pastors at God’s House of Brotherly Love Church in Bellwood until leaving in March “under the guidance of Bishop Pam Lawrence [the church’s pastor] to carry out a God-given vision to plant a new church.”

Broadview Fire Department open house features vehicle extrications On Sept. 27, the Broadview Fire Department hosted their Open House, which featured vehicle extrications, live burn demos, smoke detector information and free food, and flue shots, among things. Proceeds from purchases went to support the Broadview Explorers program.

Princess Lang, 16, is a triple threat Maywoodian Princess Lang’s parents, Terrance and Kisha Lang, must have known what they were doing when they named her, says the 16-year-old.

“I think I was supposed to be a Princess,” the teenager, who attends The Chicago Academy for the Arts, said during an interview she gave that was posted to The Academy’s website. The school is one of the most prestigious performing arts high schools in the Chicago area.

“I feel like my parents knew what I wanted to do at a young age, and they just supported me throughout everything,” she said.

The Maywood teenager — who sings, acts and dances — recently sat for a phone interview with Village Free Press, a week after debuting the role of Jackie in “Carolina, or Change,” a production by Timeline Theater and Firebrand Theatre. Princess said that the show has the option of running until Nov. 11, pending an extension, at the Den Theatre, 1331 N. Milwaukee Ave. in Chicago.

Did you have to audition to get into The Academy?

Yes. They have you audition for dancing, singing and acting in order to get into the musical theater department. I was really nervous. I just took a deep breath. I knew I could do it.

PRINCESS LANG

How did the opening of “Carolina, or Change” go?

It was such a success. We really enjoyed it and feel like the audience enjoyed it. It’s my fourth professional show.

different gigs.

Where’d you get the inspiration to be a performer?

I watched the movie “Dreamgirls” and Deena Jones, Beyonce’s character, really influenced me. I said, ‘This is what I’m going to do with myself.’

How was it growing up in Maywood and wanting to be a performer?

I was part of Maywood Fine Arts. I feel like it gives you a head start on what you want to do with your future and an idea of what that would hold, because they give chances to audition for

What school did you attend before transferring to The Academy?

I attended Providence St. Mel from second to eighth grade.

What do you see yourself doing after college?

I want to be able to do Broadway, be in movies and make an album if I want to. I want to do all of the above!

What’s your approach to preparing for a role?

I make sure that I read through the play or musical I’m in to get a feel of what the show is. I try to stay away from going to other productions of that musical, because I want to be my own character, so I’m not taking other people’s stuff. I want to search what I want to do with the character and try different things to see what feels best to me.

What would you tell a young kid who wants to perform at some of the highest levels that you’re currently performing at?

Never give up on your dreams, even if you feel like it’s too hard of a goal to reach. Whatever you do, keep working on it and don’t let anyone discourage you from your realizing your dream.

D209 MASTER PLAN Coming into view from page 1 group was divided into three tiers of priority, with the top tier indicating the highest priority.

At all three of the district’s campuses — Proviso East, Proviso West and Proviso Math and Science Academy — upgrading and improving temperature controls (particularly installing air conditioning at East and West), were top tier infrastructure priorities.

At Proviso East, the highest priorities in the areas of curriculum and site improvement had to do with renovating and upgrading the athletic and physical education facilities.

Parking lot and traffic control improvements were tier one site priorities at PMSA and tier two site priorities at West, where upgrades to career and technical education instruction areas, the library and secured entry points were the highest priorities in the area of curriculum.

Jolicoeur emphasized that while the three-tiered hierarchy of priorities establishes an order of importance to capital improvements and informs the master plan sequencing, the hierarchy doesn’t necessarily dictate when improvements will happen. He said that not all first tier priorities will be improved in the first phase of the master plan and not all phase one projects will be first tier priorities.

“Let’s say we’re renovating a classroom,” Jolicoeur said. “If we’re taking down or putting in ceilings, we need to make sure that we’re taking care of the all of the infrastructure behind the ceilings so that we’re not coming back to take a ceiling down in order to do something two years later you could have done while working on the ceilings [in the first place].”

Jolicoeur said that work on more pressing, statemandated life-safety work, such as maintaining sprinkler systems, could be combined with work related to the facilities master plan in order for the district to “get better efficiency out of your dollars.”

Still, he added, “there’s an inherent tension” in the plan that district officials must confront — how to strike a balance between funding upgrades and improvements, such as the modernization of library space, that most drastically enhance the physical learning environment and funding less visible, but necessary, improvements to walled-off infrastructure, such as severely outdated plumbing and electrical wiring.

But the extent of the long-term capital work that gets done depends on how much the board allocates for the improvements.

During the Sept. 18 meeting, Rodriguez laid out a three-phase capital funding plan that would give the district around $77 million in non-referendum funding over three to four years to pay for at least the initial stages of the final facilities master plan, which the superintendent said would likely take at least a decade to fully implement.

The first two phases of the funding plan have already been completed. They entailed the district paying off or refinancing roughly $25 million worth of bonds issued in 2008 in order to reduce the cost of paying interest on debt by more than $5.2 million. The savings contributed to Standard & Poor increasing the district’s credit rating from A to A-plus in August.

Village Free Press | October 3, 2018 The third phase of the funding plan includes three parts. The first part would put $29 million toward funding the master facilities plan — $17 million with cash the district has on hand and $12 million transferred from the district’s roughly $40 million fund balance to its roughly $70 million capital fund.

At the Sept. 18 meeting, the school board approved a surplus of around $5 million for the 2019 fiscal year, $4.5 million of which will go toward funding the implementation of the facilities master plan.

Rodriguez said that it’s difficult to foresee operating surpluses beyond five or six years due to a variety of factors, such as school board and administrative changes.

The second part of the capital funding plan projects two more years of $4.5 million budget surpluses allocated to master facilities projects in fiscal years 2020 and 2021, for a three-year total of $18 million. This part of the plan also includes $4.5 million worth of proceeds from refinancing those 2008 working cash bonds.

The third part entails the district borrowing up to $30 million worth of non-referendum bonds with no additional tax increases. This part of the plan assumes that the taxable value of new property keeps up with inflation over the next 20 years, district officials said.

Rodriguez said that he presented the three-part, non-referendum capital funding plan at the school board’s request, even though he believes that “the best option for this district is to do a referendum.”

Architects, financial consultants and district officials are still working out just how much of the master plan the $77 million would fund.

District officials did not disclose whether or not they would eventually need to supplement those non-referendum funding sources with referendum bonds.

What was clearer, Rodriguez stressed, was that the funding plan he presented requires the district to exercise incredible financial discipline or risk falling back into the red.

He urged the board to hew to several guiding principles that include maintaining a fund balance ratio of 33 percent, saving an average of $4.5 million, increasing the district’s credit rating from A-plus to AA or AAA, and increasing its financial standing with the state.

“If you don’t maintain these guiding principles, you’ll go back to 2007,” Rodriguez warned. In 2007, he said, the district had a $14 million deficit, followed by a $7 million deficit in 2008.

During the Sept. 18 meeting, the consensus of the board was to go with the capital funding plan that Rodriguez presented, although no formal vote was taken. The board also approved the first reading of a policy change that would raise the board’s recommended fund balance ratio from 25 percent to 33 percent. The board still needs to sign off on a second reading of the policy change before it can take effect.

The architects are expected to return to the school board with a more detailed draft master plan on Oct. 16. A town hall meeting will be held on Oct. 23, 6 p.m., at PMSA to discuss the details of the preliminary master plan, along with other issues related to building improvements. The school board could vote on a final master plan either in November or December, district officials said.

D209 approves new surplus budget The roughly $5M surplus could be used to fund facilities master plan

By MICHAEL ROMAIN Editor

During a regular meeting on Sept. 18, the Proviso Township High Schools District 209 Board of Education unanimously approved a budget for the 2019 fiscal year, which contained a significant surplus. The fiscal year stretches from July 1 to June 30.

The district budgeted $88.5 million for operating revenues, but projected expenditures came in at around $83.4 million, with a resulting surplus of around $5 million that district officials said will likely be used to help fund the facilities

master plan the district is currently working on.

Some of the major aspects of the new budget include $288,000 for Extended Learning Opportunities for Students, a period that runs from 8 a.m. to 8:50 a.m. on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays, and that requires additional bus runs to transport students to the high school before the start of first period.

Another major aspect of the new budget is a $2.1 million one-to-one technology initiative, which entails providing all students in the district with laptops at no cost to families.

The new budget includes an increase from 281 to 289 full time teachers, interventionists, instructional coaches and paraprofessionals.

The district also repurposed two special payroll positions and created new data analyst, grant specialist and building-level social studies department chair positions.

The district eliminated the district-wide social studies chairperson position some time ago.

Seventy-five percent of the new budget, or $64 million, comes from local revenues; 20 percent, or $19.2 million, come from state revenues; and $5.2 million, or 6 percent, come from federal revenues.

During the meeting, D209 Supt. Jesse Rodriguez said that, due to the state’s new evidence-based school funding formula — which is designed to send more funding and support to under-resourced school districts — D209 got around $400,000 more from the state than in previous years.

Rodriguez said that the district is “putting more resources into the classroom” and has “been more effective and efficient year after year in making sure we use our dollars more effectively.” He said that the budget doesn’t including any cuts to programming or instruction.

Aspiring filmmakers hone skills at Maywood library Youth Film Workshop, held Sept. 29, teaches kids vital skills

By MICHAEL ROMAIN Editor

On Saturday afternoon, four young people crowded around a laptop inside of the Maywood Public Library, 121 S. 5th Ave. The kids weren’t looking to be entertained.

They were part of the first-ever Youth Film Workshop facilitated by filmmaker Reginald Rice, the owner of Feel So Reel Productions. “”This workshop focuses on perspective,” Rice said of the one-day event. “I present the students with optic illusions to get them to think about what they’re seeing in media and to question what they’re seeing when they watch these different types of media.”

As a final project, the students produced and edited a short film that features them talking about their dreams and aspirations

— a fitting theme, considering that most of the young people said they aspire to someday break into the film industry.

“This has been fun,” said Eric Lewis, Jr., a Maywood native who grew up in Woodridge.

Lewis said that the workshop has allowed him to flex his skills, which he’s already put to good use in the past.

“A couple of years ago, I did this movie at my old school,” he said. “We had to film a movie that had to be edited and finished in two weeks. It was good. My teachers said that it was a grade-A movie.”

The workshop was the brainchild of Tanya Butler — a longtime Maywood library trustee — and Marvin Mason, a local educator and film industry insider.

EXPOSURE’S KEY: Bottom left: Marvin Mason, Nate Harris, Myles Harris, Reginald Rice, Krysta Grant, Eric Lewis, Jr. and Tanya Butler during a break from Saturday’s first-ever Youth Film Workshop at the Maywood Public Library. reading, social studies, language arts and English at Roosevelt Middle School in Bellwood, said that he and his wife, Diane, were motivated to help host the workshop because of the effect it might have on students’ more foundational learning skills.

“It’s a matter of how we apply purpose behind reading and writing,” said Mason, who has decades of knowledge in film.

“I started off at MCA Universal and then worked for two local companies [in the Chicago area],” he said. “I’ve always been in film — ever since I first got to Maywood in 1965.”

For Butler, the workshop was about providing young people with access to opportunity.

Her daughter, Maywood

native Tammera Holmes, first explored the idea of going into aviation when, at 16, she took a plane ride at Meigs Field with the Chicago chapter of the Tuskegee Airmen.

Holmes went on to found AeroStar Corporation, which is focused on recruiting minority young people aviation, aerospace and STEM [Science, Technology, Engineering and Math] careers.

“This is how my daughter got her vision,” Butler said of the kind of programs that open young people to worlds beyond their everyday reality.

“I’ve always believed in exposure, exposure, exposure,” she said. “If they don’t get the exposure, how will kids know whether or not they want to do something?”

East wins first homecoming football game in 5 years The Pirates beat Morton Mustangs 32-21

By COMMUNITY EDITOR/DISTRICT 209 The Proviso East High School varsity football team did what it hasn’t done in five years: win a game on homecoming day. The Pirates capped off a day of celebrations to beat the Morton Mustangs 32-21 on Sept. 22.

Hours before the victory, the high school hosted its 107th homecoming parade, which proceeded east along Madison Street, from Circle Avenue in Forest Park, all the way past the high school to 9th Avenue before

looping back along Washington Boulevard toward the school.

The varsity Pirates scored in the first quarter with quarterback James Hobson rushing for a touchdown, the first of three rushing touchdowns for him. After a successful two-point conversion, the Pirates went up 8-0.

Proviso East controlled the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball, but a series of muffed and fumbled kick returns and untimely penalties kept the Mustangs close.

In the second quarter, Morton quarterback Allen Miramontes completed a 30-yard touchdown pass to a wide-open receiver on a blown coverage to make the score 8-7.

During the half-time show, the Proviso East High School marching Band performed a cancer tribute show, releasing balloons in memory of those affected by cancer and presented a photo poster of Coach Tiffany Battle, who lost her fight to cancer this summer.

In the second half, the Mustangs pulled away, notching a 14-7 lead, until Hobson ran 60 yards down the sideline to tie the game.

Although the Mustangs reclaimed the lead afterward, East’s defense was able to penetrate deep into the Mustangs’ backfield with sacks and forced turnovers, wearing their opponents down as the fourth quarter approached.

The Pirates rushed against the fatigued Mustang defense for huge chunks of yardage. Running back Devin Lee rushed for two fourthquarter touchdowns and Hobson added a third rushing touchdown as the Pirates ran off to victory and a 2-3 record.

Oliver Speller, the first-year varsity football head coach, attributed the team’s improvement this year on his philosophy of checks and balances, in addition to team-building activities.

“We have many talented studentathletes at District 209 and I am really proud of the seniors who have stepped up in leading the way for our team,” he said.

“The team has engaged in many team building activities on and off the field,” Speller added. “This summer we even took a trip to a museum. For me, it’s important to build a sense of family among my players,” said Coach Speller.”

NEWS briefs Walther Christian students volunteer during homecoming week A group of middle and high school students from Walther Christian Academy, 900 Chicago Ave. in Melrose, spent the week of homecoming, from Sept. 17 through Sept. 22, volunteering with various local and international service organizations, according to school officials.

The students engaged in a range of activities, including cleaning up a garden, moving furniture, sorting books and painting, with organizations throughout Proviso Township.

Those organizations included the Quinn Center in Maywood, Maywood Fine Arts, St. John Lutheran Church, Forest Park, Concordia University Chicago and Casa Italia in Stone Park.

Other Walther students travelled to Schaumburg to pack meals for Feed My Starving Children — a Christian nonprofit that distributes food to people in underdeveloped countries. The students packed 250 boxes of food, enough to feed 145 hungry children for a year.

The students also collected and donated $400 to FMSC in order to provide an additional 1,600 meals to those in need. And a group of Walther music students performed a concert and led a hymn for the residents of Lutheran Home in Arlington Heights.

Walther students were expected to cap off

their week of service by participating in the Proviso Area CROP Hunger Walk on Sept. 30.

For October, Walther Christian Academy will celebrate PINK week, which is held to raise awareness and funds to fight cancer.

PINK nights will be hosted by the volleyball teams on Wednesday, Oct. 10 and by the football team on Friday, Oct. 12.

During the Oct. 12 Friday Night Lights football game, at 7 p.m., the school will raise funds for Phil’s Friends, a cancer support organization based in Roselle, and founded

by Phil Zielke, Walther Class of 1999.

Maywood Fine Arts gets $10K grant A Maywood nonprofit was among 17 arts organizations across northern Illinois to receive a grant of up to $10,000 from ComEd and the League of Chicago Theatres.

In a statement released on Sept. 27, ComEd and the League announced that Maywood Fine Arts, the venerable arts nonprofit that offers daily instruction in a range of areas — including dance, painting, tumbling and music — was chosen to receive $10,000 to continue providing arts-related instruction to children in the village and beyond.

The League of Chicago Theatres is “an alliance of theatres which leverages its collective strength to promote, support, and advocate for Chicago’s theatre industry locally, nationally, and internationally,” according to the statement.

Other recipients of the grants included the Alma Dance Theater in Wheaton, the About Face Theatre in Chicago and the Chicago Jazz Philharmonic.

According to the statement, the grantees ranged “from local theaters to art galleries” and are working on “projects that expand access to arts and cultural offerings for underserved audiences in the communities ComEd serves.”

Maywood turned into suicide prevention HQ The Illinois Suicide Prevention holds pioneering conference at Loyola

According to the Centers for Disease control, the rate of suicide in the United States has increased by more than 25 percent since 2009, which made it the 10th leading cause of death in 2016.

Last week, Maywood was ground zero in the national effort to stem the rate of suicide when the Illinois Suicide Prevention Alliance held its annual summit at the Center for Translational Research and Education on the Loyola Health Services Campus, 2160 S. 1st Ave. in Maywood.

The daylong conference, which convened national experts in suicide prevention, was the result of a collaboration between Riveredge Hospital in Forest Park, the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention and Loyola University Chicago Marcella Niehoff School of Nursing.

Tandra Rutledge, Riveredge’s director of business development, said that the summit “is the first of its kind in the nation to focus on the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention’s (AFSP) Project 2025 that has the goal of reducing the suicide rate by 20 percent by 2025.”

Steve Moore, the co-chair of both the Illinois Suicide Prevention Alliance and the AFSP’s Illinois chapter, said that the organization has identified four general areas with the most potential to reduce the suicide rate: large healthcare systems, emergency departments, corrections systems and firearm safety.

“Personnel in healthcare organizations, emergency departments and corrections systems have direct contact with people with a high risk of suicide,” Moore explained in a statement. “A comprehensive approach to suicide prevention in each of these settings can save lives.”

During a reception held in Oak Park the day before the Sept. 21 summit, Moore said that the unique focus of the summit was Rutledge’s idea.

“After I told her about those four areas, Tandra immediately said, ‘Well that’s our

during the reception. “Millions of people die every year by suicide and the impact of that loss is felt across the country.”

Rutledge referenced data showing that an average of 1,400 people each year in Illinois die by suicide.

“But wait,” she said. “There is hope. A recent Harris poll conducted on behalf of the National Action Alliance for Suicide Prevention and the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention found that 94 percent of Americans believe that suicide can be prevented.”

Rutledge said that “equally impressive” is that 94 percent of those individuals interviewed for the poll said that they would take action if “someone close to them were showing signs of suicide.”

That statistic, she said, “is encouraging for each one of us,” before urging those at the reception to “figure out ways that you can impact suicide and save lives.

“We owe it to the people who die by suicide, the loved ones left behind by suicide, the individuals having daily thoughts of suicide and those who attempt suicide. We can and we must do better.”

theme,’” Moore said, recalling a conversation with Rutledge months before the summit.

“And Tandra organized a conference around it.”

The conference included close to a dozen speakers and panelists, such as David W. Baker, the executive vice president for Healthcare Quality Evaluation at the Joint Commission; Leslie Zun, president of the American Association for Emergency Psychiatry; and Brent Gibson, chief health officer for the National Commission on Correctional Health Care; and Nneka Tapia, Psy.D., former Executive Director of the Cook County Department of Corrections.

“This conference has really taken on a national flavor, as well as being a local Illinois conference,” said Michael Rosenoff, the senior director of Project 2025, during the Sept. 20 reception.

“We know that suicide is a serious health problem in this nation,” Rutledge said

Proviso West Homecoming On Saturday, Sept. 29 Proviso West High School hosted its second consecutive homecoming parade in roughly a decade. The parade started at Stevenson Park, 3101 Washington Blvd. in Bellwood, headed west onto Washington Blvd., before merging onto Butterfield Rd. and eventually Wolf Rd. The parade ended at the high school, 4701 Harrison St. in Hillside.

MY PERSPECTIVE Read our work from page 1 and Will, said that the architectural firm “in no way, shape or form” makes any final decision on the master plan. That’s the board’s role.

“We cannot control what a writer puts in a newspaper and publishes,” Jolicoeur said, adding that he doesn’t have the ability to make Village Free Press and Forest Park Review retract the information in the articles that I wrote (and I’ve written all of the articles relevant to that Sept. 18 board discussion).

I admire and respect every member on the current school board, as well as Supt.

Rodriguez. I also think Perkins and Will is doing a fine job handling this master facilities planning process and have done a great job handling a similar long-term capital planning process in a nearby high school district that I also cover.

But I have to push back against the

perception of our coverage that seems to have taken root among a critical mass of D209 officials and the district’s outside architect.

At no point have I reported that PMSA will or will not close. At no point have I reported the preliminary plans so far drafted as part of the facilities master plan as if they were final plans approved by the board. At no point have I suggested in my reporting that the architects have, as Jolicoeur claims, made any final decisions regarding the master plan.

In fact, the last sentence of the very first article that we published about this matter — entitled “D209 could dissolve PMSA campus” in Forest Park Review and “Architects, Public Ponder Merging PMSA Campus With East And/Or West” in Village Free Press —is this: “[Jolicoeur] said that the firm [Perkins and Will] will have a draft facilities master plan completed by May to present to the board in June.”

Higher up in that article is this: “For the first time in the master facilities planning process, the architects offered a series of very preliminary options for dealing with the district’s facilities burden and most of them centered on what to do with PMSA.”

The architects presented “very preliminary” concepts (based, in part, on public input and an evaluation of the district’s financial realties and capital needs) that introduced the possibility of D209 dissolving PMSA’s campus (hence the headline in Forest Park Review, which may be blunt or worded for effect, but it’s not wrong).

After many PMSA families lodged a strong opposition against even considering the possibility of dissolving the school’s one-building campus (which they thought tantamount to closing the school itself), the architects did what they were hired by the board to do — they modified their preliminary plans, concepts and scenarios in order to take into account that particular strain of community feedback.

The preliminary plan now takes into account all three campuses. The architects, steering team and building leadership teams are no longer even flirting with the idea of dissolving PMSA’s campus. Indeed, D209 board members came to a consensus at a meeting on Sept. 18 that all three campuses will remain intact (they did not, however, formally vote on the matter).

The architects are still working with district officials and community members to draft a plan that they hope reflects the district’s and the wider community’s needs, priorities and values. District officials are currently refining funding scenarios related to the master plan. There’s more community feedback to come in October. The board could vote on a final master facilities plan sometime before the year is out.

That’s what has happened. That’s where this process is at. That’s what I’ve reported.

And, so far, no one at Perkins and Will and no one at the district has offered up any information that substantially refutes my reporting. Besides, my reporting is based on information that they themselves have provided to the public.

I urge everyone to read our coverage critically and thoroughly. If we haven’t reported on something accurately, please let us know in detail and, if you’re right, we’ll issue a correction. But for elected officials and well-respected professionals to perpetuate what I’m confident is a gross mischaracterization of my work is just plain wrong.
