The next day, Thursday, the Palm Beach Post issued a "CORRECTIONS & CLARIFICATIONS" to Mr. Doris' story.
Here is what Mr. Doris wrote on Wednesday that needed 'Correction & Clarification':
The mayor [Mayor Muoio] pointed repeatedly to [Commissioner] Mitchell’s participation in projects in which her ex-husband, lobbyist Richard Pinsky, was involved, including an effort to build a Wal-Mart in the south end of the city. Community members ultimately made it known that they didn’t want a supermarket at the site.Here is the swift correction in the Palm Beach Post:
Mitchell responded that having grown up in the city, she knows many people but also knows how to say no to them. “He’s my ex-husband, too, so that means we didn’t always see eye to eye,” she quipped.
A story Wednesday about the West Palm Beach mayoral race gave the impression that City Commissioner Kimberly Mitchell, a candidate for mayor, supported the construction of a Wal-Mart store in the city's south end. Mitchell opposed the store at the 811 S. Dixie Highway site. The story also incorrectly reported that her ex-husband, Richard Pinsky, was involved with the Wal-Mart project. Pinsky did not represent the developer and also opposed the project. The article appeared on Page B1 of the Local section.Note that the "Corrections & Clarifications" in the Palm Beach Post only appear in the printed edition, on page A2, the "BACK OF THE FRONT" page.
