Illinois Blue Book Features Wrong Mitchell
The Chicago Tribune survived "Dewey Defeats Truman," and the Postal Service survived a stamp that had a bi-plane printed upside down, so the State of Illinois will likely survive a mix-up in the latest Illinois Blue Book that left out one lawmaker's photo and substituted another with the same last name.

You'll see in the biography of State Rep. Bill Mitchell (R-Forsyth) a photo of State Rep. Jerry Mitchell (R-Sterling). Jerry Mitchell's photo appears also on his own biography -- on the very next page.

The Secretary of State's office publishes the Blue Book. Spokesman Henry Haupt was apologetic and said the office would investigate.
