Hall_Monitor: A case of mistaken identity
Submitted by Hall_Monitor on Mon, 2009-01-05 15:33.
The notice of hearings on the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission's Hetch-Hetchy water system improvements says the Modesto hearing will be held at "Thomas Dewey High School."
Wasn't he the guy who beat Harry Truman in the 1948 presidential election? (It must have been true, I read it in the Chicago Tribune....)
For the record, the hearing is at 6:30 p.m. Jan. 13 in the Thomas Downey High School cafeteria.
And as for the famous Tribune "Dewey defeats Truman" headline, it taught us all a lesson about assuming the results when election returns are too slow for deadlines.
