That Mi. is confusing, too. Where's he from?
Michigan. To top it off, I spotted this yesterday and waited 12 hours before getting a screen grab. So despite plenty of time and a few snarky comments on the site, no one bothered to edit it.
Ohio shouldn't need to be abbreviated in a headline anyway.
I'm puzzled as to why a TV station would have to abbreviate words on a Web page in the first place. What were the specs for that head? If you have a character count for an online head, there's something wrong with the design.
