Pay-Cut Gate...an apology to Ms. Hipona

Pay-Cut Gate has received much attention here and elsewhere. When Watch Dog wrote about it most recently, however, we made a mistake and we'd like to correct it. Here is what we wrote referring to this story:

--

More important than the Pay-Cut Gate story today, someone's grammar was way off in this piece: either Hipona, reporter Christine Morente, or the County Times Editor left their grammar checker off. (Watch Dog's money is on Hipona...) The story has this gem of a quote, commenting on the fact that it won't matter what the Attorney General says about Hipona serving in two elected capacities, because:

"It's now a mute point..."

Really? A mute point Ms. Hipona? Not a moot point?

That quote should be attributed to Jefferson Elementary School District Governing Board President Hans Hansen, not Ms. Hipona. Our money was on the wrong person because the quote didn't belong to Ms. Hipona. Our apologies.

That said, it is still unclear who made the error: Mr. Hansen, Ms. Morente, or the County Times Editors...Watch Dog will not place bets this time, because we lost our shirt last time.
