From Josh Brodesky’s column in the Star this morning:

We drove (uneventfully and separately) to nearby Barrio Brewing Co. and sat down on the patio. Rothschild skipped the local suds and ordered a Budweiser.

“I’m a Budweiser man,” he said to the surprised waitress.

While I’m not the biggest fan of Barrio’s beers, if you’re running for mayor, wouldn’t it be a smart idea to support the local economy in any visible way possible?

I’ll get a comment from A. Greene, Tucson Weekly intern and possible mayoral candidate, when she gets to the office after her school day.

The editor of the Tucson Weekly. I have no idea how I got here.

One reply on “Jonathan Rothschild, You Have Some Explaining to Do”

  1. Pardon me, but in the article, didn’t he describe his thinking as, ‘Where do I find the next job for somebody in this town? How do I keep business that’s here, here?’ ”
    Well, you buy local, for starters.
    He would have been better off saying he was a margarita man than saying he was a Budweiser man in a locally owned brewery. Seriously.
