Financing Families

Possibly there's a mixed message. Possibly I'm stupid. Likely both, but it still seems odd that the come-on from the Milwaukee Fatherhood Initiative is that fathers who attend a weekend seminar (which doesn't seem to require being there with family) get to reduce the amount they pay in child support.

Not to cast aspersions in the air toward MFI, but maybe (or at least I would understand it better if) they could bribe dads to bring their kids into the family biz (even if it means helping them get a gig). That way kids can become jazzists like the Brubecks — who played with dad before going out on their own, or a football ref like longtime volleyball ref Cindy C-Wilson, who chose to ref with pops.
