Intern Theo Anderson Creates the Zlotnik Map of Wow
Sometimes it takes a new set of eyes to discover the reality of success. Thus was the result of a project by Jonathan Zlotnik’s intern Theo Anderson who put a map together which graphically showcases the sheer enormity of many of the various projects and programs Zlotnik’s office has worked to deliver state funding to support. As Jonathan Zlotnik states: “ Every pin on this map is the result of hard work and collaboration with local officials, non-profits, or businesses to support important work going on throughout my district for our community.”
Gardner Magazine is calling it the “Map of WOW”.
Look at the entire list below. The sheer enormity of the list of success made our eyes bug out.
Fortunately, Gardner Magazine is a digital publication. Otherwise the cost of typesetting the list would have been a staggering sum indeed.
