Myron blogs about Tubby's expectations and Rodney Williams

That's assuming Myron comes cheaper than somebody from Des Moines or Champaign or Stillwater or Lincoln. I doubt it. Remember, the Strib is still unionized. It isn't like Myron is making $6.35 an hour. He is guaranteed a certain wage because of the union. That wage is still likely higher than many guys make in smaller towns. I'm still convinced they could have gone into some of those smaller markets with major universities and found someone with much more experience and skill. They simply took the easy, convenient, and cheap way out.

YOu're right--I was assuming that. I'm still not sure they could have found someone just as cheap with more experience, but I admit that I don't know the union contract rules for journalists, so you could be completely right.
