This accident waiting to happen in the wild and woolly world of newspapers and copy editing happened in this week’s Oak Leaves:

Among items discussed Monday by Oak Park’s finance committee was employment of five full-time engineers. Trustee John Hedges asked if having in-house employees was the most cost-effective way to go.

“They are extremely efficient,” Pubic Works Director John Wielebnicki said.

I say leave people’s privates alone.
