Another Pulitzer For Journal Sentinel!

This one to Raquel Rutledge for great local reporting that exposed corruption in the state's childcare program.

Two years ago, Dave Umhoefer won a Pulitzer for a report on the County pension system.

These are great achievements. Congratulations.

I think the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel as a watchdog is good at targeting government. Business interests? Not so much. Nonetheless, I agree: congrats are in order.

Congrats to the MJS for finally reporting on this.

And as was brilliantly pointed out by Mark Belling yesterday afternoon, this was a great development in that the MJS won a Pulitzer for this story of an unbelievably corrupt and incompetently run government program.

Versus Meg Kissenger's never ending - beat a dead horse - series on Biphenol A.

Maybe the MJS will pursue more of these shoot a fish in the barrel government fraud/waste stories versus 'who really cares?' series like BPA.
