Commentary Update for March 11, 2002: Rettig/Feinauer on Site Councils, Rettig on Leadership, Logo, Ethanol

School Board Candidates Brett Smits and Tom McDermott appear on this week's Commentary. We will not tape a show on March 18 due to UW Oshkosh spring break. On March 25, board candidates Ted Sehmer and Ben Schneider will appear.

On the web site, some items related to education: UW Oshkosh Education Professor Perry Rettig and Business Professor Dale Feinauer have co-authored a piece dealing with school site councils:

• Dr. Rettig also shares with us his views on the need for leadership in the school district:

On the logo issue, it appears as if some students in Colorado have decided to "turn the tables" call themselves the "Fighting Whities":

Finally, it looks like there probably won't be an ethanol plant built in Winnebago County, but today's Wisconsin State Journal editorializes in favor of increased ethanol production in the state:
