| At the end of this story about the talent leak from the Freep. In addition to Ashenfelter, Swickard and Heard, some of the Free Press staffers leaving in the coming weeks include: Health writer Pat Anstett; Associate Editor Ron Dzwonkowski; Director of Photography Craig Porter, photographers Pat Beck, William Archie and Susan Tusa; Politics Editor Bob Campbell; Lansing reporter Dawson Bell, Outdoors Writer Eric Sharp and Editorial Writer Barb Arrigo.
I cannot say that I'm sorry to see Ron "Booggerman" Dzwonkowski go. His painful, painful editorializing in the style of High Broderism did more to enable the bad faith, factless negotiating that defined the Michigan Republican Party during the early and middle years of last decade. On the other hand, we won't have Dawson Bell to kick around anymore ... until he resurfaces probably as one of the drones at the Mackinac Center. P.S. I don't know if I've ever seen a photo of Dawson Bell wearing a bowtie. Having seen a few of his performances on Off the Record, the only thing I can say is that he should. |
