GOVERNOR ACKNOWLEDGES PROCLAMATION FAULT

The office of the governor sent this letter to milwaukeeworld.com this afternoon in response to our earlier posting accusing the governor's office of using copyright material by Michael Horne that appeared here on February 12th in a proclamation issued in honor of the 60th anniversary of Glorioso Bros. grocery store in Milwaukee.
The governor's communications director, Dan Leistikow, admits that the proclamation came from this site, and gives the credit that had been lacking.
Milwaukeeworld is grateful for the governor's prompt attention to this matter of intellectual property.

Dear Mr. Horne:
As I mentioned to you over the phone, our office does thousands of proclamations, and
works very hard to gather accurate and thorough information from whatever sources it
can on a very short timeframe. Since the material for the Glorioso Brothers
proclamation came from your posting, I wanted to send you this letter giving you
credit. Feel free to post this letter on your site.
Glorioso Brothers is a great Milwaukee small business, with a rich history and a
bright future in the city. Your article was a fitting tribute to the company and the
hardworking people who have made it a success.
Sincerely,
Dan Leistikow
Communications Directorv
