San Juan ... we have a problem. Apparently 100 rooms just opened up at the El Conquistador Resort in Puerto Rico.
Thanks to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel’s Dan Bice for reporting about the Associated Bankers’ now-cancelled trip to Puerto Rico.
Unpack your Bermuda shorts and your flipflops gang. You’re not going anywhere.
The idea of jet-setting executives sipping mojitos in Puerto Rico while the economy circles the drain is a bitter pill for the rest of us to swallow, especially when the bank's top officials are feeding at the government trough.
You have to love a columnist who gets the head of one of the state’s largest banks to cancel a trip for 100 of his highest performing execs.
My guess is Bice won’t be getting an invitation to the next Associated Bank company picnic. I’m guessing he doesn’t care. You go Dan!
Totally excellent!!! I read the article this am and commented to him as to how good it is for the press to tell us their dirty little secrets! I also sent a comment along those lines to Gov Doyle saying this should not happen to the citizens of Wisconsin. ha ha ha ha This made my day!
While I write on a daily basis, as a reporter, I'm new to blogging. Rather than mix business with pleasure, I've decided to use this blog for writing about subjects different from my work on the Education Beat. Since this is all new frontier to me, it may be a few days before I start a blog here devoted to education related topics, but I plan to do so. I'm no one trick pony. On this blog, I will occasionally wax poetic on a variety of delightful topics, like the ethics of Charlie Brown or finding spiritual nourishment from bad TV. All I ask is that, if you must comment, be kind. I do not suffer fools gladly. Enjoy!
