I was glancing at the Capital Journal website this evening, and came across their calendar of events. And this item kind of jumped out at me:
The Senate Republican Golf Outing, which is a fundraising kind of thing, (and yes, Dems do those types of events too) is being advertised on the local newspaper community calendar? That left me wondering, “so, who put that up there?”
And clicking on it, we find out:
So, we have the City of Pierre advertising the event, which pushes it out to the Cap Journal page.
Somehow, I don’t think Senate Republicans asked for the plug.
Why not? Perhaps the City of Pierre is a big supporter of the Republican Senators and likes them golfing in their town. I bet they’d let the Democrats golf there too, but you have to have a 4-some to get on the course I am told.
ding ding ding – good one!
Jeff Monroe runs Pierre. The guy is a Titan and gets things done.
Advertising? More likely information. As Hillsview is a municipal golf course run by the city, it makes sense for the city website to list any scheduled events on the calendar so other golfers can plan their tee times around larger events.
