More Pork Forest

First of all, kudos to both Kris and State 29 for covering the Iowa Pork Forest insanity. Kris, in particular, has a great piece on it. My favorite part of her post, I am c&ping here for all to see. But you have to check out the whole thing over there.

Anyway, Kris lists the following people as members of the advisory committee for the project:

• Sheila Boyd, General Growth.
• Randy Rayner, Laborers Local No. 1238.
• Scott Carpenter, University of Iowa Department of Geoscience.
• Dick (Richard L.) Rex, former mayor of West Branch.
• Lois Crowley, Iowa City Community School District.
• Chris Rohret, Iowa City Community School District.
• Sen. Bob Dvorsky, D-Coralville.
• Sheila Samuelson, 2004 University of Iowa biology graduate.
• Coralville Mayor Jim Fausett.
• Chris Scarpellino, Loparex Inc.
• Rick Hanna, Carpenters Local Union 1260.
• Josh Schamberger, Iowa City/ Coralville Convention & Visitors Bureau.
• Coralville City Administrator Kelly Hayworth.
• Dr. Jill Scholz, Family Foot Care.
• John Hudson, Iowa Arts Council.
• Linda Schreiber, Iowa City Area Development.
• Sandra Hudson, Iowa Incubator.
• Sharon Thomas, Iowa City Community School District.
• Beth Jorgensen, Iowa City Community School District.
• Neil Trott, Canterbury Inn.
• Johnson County Supervisor Terrence Neuzil.
• Deanna Trumbell, Trumbell Consulting.
• Mark Phillips, RSM McGladrey.
• Ed Williams, Biowa.
• Wayne Peterson, United States Department of Agriculture.
• Joe Raso, Iowa City Area Development.

The ones in bold have been writing letters and editorials in support of the project. My question is this. Do these individuals note in their letters or their bios that they are on this board? Did the PC check into that? I checked the most recent one that Kris linked to from her blog and the online bio does not indicate Beth Jorgensen is on the advisory board.That's like me writing a guest opinion about how great Dreamwell is without ever mentioning the fact that I am on the Board of Directors. Full disclosure, people.
