Journal Sentinel Expands State Journal Story On Questionable DNR Enforcement

An interesting and newsy Sunday, for sure:

The Journal Sentinel late Sunday added to the State Journal's Sunday scoop about the DNR's wrist-slap to an egregious polluter.

I doubt we've heard the last of this story, or its consequences.

Here is the original State Journal piece, and here is the Journal Sentinel's follow-up.

Monday update: The Journal Sentinel version is gone. Am checking...

Later Monday update: Managing Editor George Stanley emailed to say that in response to a request to reprint, the WSJ gave the JS permission to link through the online link.

  1. Still there but buried in the elite JS's sidebar.

  2. That takes me to the State Journal piece. I could swear that Sunday night the JS had a version with material its staff had added.

  5. Burying this story along with running the 3 editorials in the crossroads section on Sunday defines the JS. It's an all out war on the Dems by the JS!

  6. Went to the J-S site just now and did a search on "Herr." It came up with a link to the story (I assume with the J-S's added reporting). But when I clicked it, it said Story Not Found. What gives?

    Would the State Journal make the J-S take it down? Looked to me like it was correctly credited and attributed.

  7. I don't know why the link was down. It originally had Ron Seely's byline, which struck me as unusual, but I figured it was posted with permission.

    I am hoping the paper, now that it is Monday, is preparing its own story.

  8. Still not there at 6:20 pm. I am totally disgusted. This is the paper that people in Oconomowoc read, if they read anything. The story has clearly been taken down. Pressure from DNR?
