"Correction for 10.27.08
Monday, October 27, 2008
An editorial on Page A12 Friday had incomplete information about the employment status of Lisa Marie Coppoletta, a candidate for San Marcos City Council Place 4. She is a full-time academic adviser at Texas State University-San Marcos in addition to being a speech instructor at Austin Community College and a part-time actor."

Here are the comparisons of the before and after corrections from the Statesman article:
CORRECTED:
Coppoletta, 40, is a full-time academic adviser at Texas State University as well as a speech instructor at Austin Community College and a part-time actor. Her campaign is based on attracting the film industry to San Marcos and pushing green issues. She is a smart, interesting candidate, but Jones has a more grounded view of city government.

FIRST RUN:
