Knows about the wind farms. We’d hate to be the one who didn’t.
Where is ProgressNow on this one? How about sending them a Geography book on Colorado?
I am sure there is more than one person (Tara Trujillo included) in that office who have personally been to eastern plains wind farms with the Senator. That’s says to me the press release was sent without being edited.
Fortunately as Colorado Pols noted, Udall’s not up for re-election next year, so his staff has some time to find their sea legs. And wind farms.
that means Udall’s office is not well managed. Editing & checking press releases is SOP.
If it was troubling that McInnis’ office didn’t pay attention to details on the campaign Web site, it’s equally troubling that Udall’s office didn’t pay attention to details in a press release.
Of course, beyond political people, nobody cares about any of this and, in my view, it adds to the reason why the general public gets annoyed with, offended by, and turns away from politics. Sometimes it’s all so petty.
ProgressNow wouldn’t be ProgressNow if it supported conservatives with its message.
They’re an energy wholesaler, mostly serving rural electric companies like United Power. It’s not even an accurate name – they now serve 4 states (CO, NM, NE and WY).
This press release is very similar to the one on Tri-State’s site. It looks like a joint press release, and I believe it might be Tri-State’s first wind farm – and certainly its first on Colorado’s Eastern Plains. (The Pawnee and Lamar farms are both Excel, IIRC.)
Some staffer took the available joint release verbiage and mangled in the “first wind farm…” tidbit, then let it go without a solid review. I’m with David – bad oversight in the DC office.
…of never admitting to a mistake. Like most politicians Udall doubles down with a lame excuse rather than just say we made a mistake – sorry.
Udall’s office did admit it made a mistake and meant to say whatever it corrected the release to say.
Which part of the admission “Trujillo said the news release meant to say ‘central-eastern plains,’ and the Website was updated to reflect that” is confusing?
Tara admitted the mistake and noted that it had been fixed. Not sure what else you are looking for.
…that’s trying to get off on a technicality. What Trujillo should have said was “sorry, in our excitement about this new wind farm we forgot.”
“its” first ever vs. “the” first ever would have made the press release completely accurate.
Too bad.
I’m a customer, but not necessarily a huge supporter, of one of Tri-State’s customers.
It was a dumb mistake, and one that should have been caught in proofing. Not quite as dumb as putting Denali in Shaffer’s ad touting his Colorado heritage, or even as bad as McInnis’s website asking “What Do You Want for the Future of Colorado” while displaying the Canadian Rockies… But still dumb.
that’s why I said “too bad”
One word. It SHOULD have been caught.
