Once upon a time, in a land far, far away, there was a regional group executive in a very well-known kingdom of newspapers. His name was -- well, let's just call him Snidely.Snidely was a very, very, very naughty regional group executive. You see, Snidely liked his paper's facilities department to come to his home and do all sorts of work -- at the kingdom's expense, of course. Among the many things Snidely demanded:
- An addition on his house
- An outdoor deck
- Custom-stained wainscoting in the den
- Installation of kitchen cabinets
- Furnace repair
- Landscaping

ReplyDeleteSo, with all of that boring legalese: Let the speculation begin!
Yep. Lived it. The local Criminal Investigation unit of the IRS is located across from the production plant from Snidely's former property. They won't have far to go.
ReplyDeleteIts is not only Gannett papers, were this happen? I know of situations, similar, involving, some former executive connected to Thomson's newspapers. The newspapers, are now owned by Gannett. He left just before Gannett took over.
ReplyDeleteYou know, I'm not sure that Snidely knows that there is this wonderful world of web blogs, since he was a rather old fashion villian (no computer). Hopefully someone can lead him to a computer so he too can enjoy.
