Paul Dorr! Paul Dorr!

Yes, it's true! Paul Dorr is in the news!

Since the Journal axes their online copy the day after it's published, I'll post the first couple of paragraphs here. If you'd like the rest of the article, I can send it to you.

Paul Dorr promises 'hard work and research' to those looking to defeat school bonds

Paul Dorr, rotund and middle-aged, stands before more than 150 people gathered recently to hear the case for voting "no" on an upcoming Ponca Community School District bond referendum. His square, intelligent face is framed by a shock of thick brown hair and an equally unruly beard.

Dorr is the hired gun for ABCs, the Vote No folks in this referendum. As campaign manager, his victory is the referendum's defeat. It's what he does.Dorr, the father of 11 home-schooled children, (three are out of the nest now) makes what he describes as a "meager" living as a campaign consultant to the Vote No groups who oppose public school bond referendums in Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri and Nebraska. In Ponca, he had already been paid $4,000 by Jan. 5 and will walk away with more of the $9,000 raised via private donations of less than $250 each. He's managed 39 such campaigns since 2002, winning most of them.
