Make Your Nomination

Since meaningless polls that will actually have no impact on anything and are merely meant to drive up site hits are all the rage today, we thought the WBP would join in the fun.

We are taking your nominations for two positions: Monroe County Executive and Editor of the Democrat & Chronicle. You can read more about our reasoning here and here, but it is obvious that the person who currently occupies each post has now engaged in an inappropriate relationship through common investment in a private entity using taxpayer funds.

Ms. Brooks cannot invest hundreds of thousands of dollars in the futile efforts of the GRE only to have Ms. Magnuson turn around and tell the public how great the GRE is in the tone of an unbiased third party reporting agency; when in fact the D&C is a GRE investment partner and it is in their own interest to portray the GRE as successful. The D&C's actions are especially egregious when it prescribes to be one of the few alternatives to an otherwise conservative and right-leaning media market. We don't need the D&C to start telling us how great our local Republicans are, we have Lonsberry for that.
