Congressional Pressure To Return Bonus

Congressional Pressure To Return Bonus

Michael Hart, head guy down at the Julian News, was recently pressured by members of Congress to return an enormous performance bonus that he was given early this year for his exemplary handling of the Julian News in 2008 for not eliminating, but cutting way back on the number of misspellings in the Julian News as best as is humanly and computerly possible. Unfortunately the return of the bonus was a few days late because it could have been used by the Julian News to purchase the Borrego Sun or even the San Diego Union Tribune, for what they’re worth. His performance was quite notable for keeping everything going in spite of the diminution of things to read in the paper with the drastic cutback in real estate advertising. Even though the Julian News did not need to accept money from the bailouts, the members of Congress said, “Hey let’s get him while we can.”
