In reaction to the story about the salary increases for top City employees. Craig: although if one reads this paragraph about the salary increases very very very carefully it is clear that you have stated it correctly. But if one reads it quickly, a person might get the impression that Colvin Roy, Zimmermann, Schiff, Zerby, Lilligren and Johnson Lee voted in favor of the salary increase, when just the opposite is true. Read just the red part of the quote below and see what kind of impression you get. Your story said, "Zerby's move to block the implementation of the salary increases lost on a 7-6 vote, with council members Sandra Colvin Roy, Dean Zimmermann, Gary Schiff, Zerby, Robert Lilligren, and Natalie Johnson Lee voting in favor and Barbara Johnson, Paul Ostrow, Scott Benson, Lisa Goodman, Barret Lane, and Don Samuels voting against". Perhaps you might have said, Zerby's move to block the implementation of the salary increases lost on a 7-6 vote, with council members Sandra Colvin Roy, Dean Zimmermann, Gary Schiff, Zerby, Robert Lilligren, and Natalie Johnson Lee voting against the salary increase and Barbara Johnson, Paul Ostrow, Scott Benson, Lisa Goodman, Barret Lane, and Don Samuels voting for the salary increase".
