Summary:
Katie Laird and Esther Steinfeld recap the week’s business news. People at Horizon Realty are a-Twitter over a tweet from a disgruntled apartment tenant; women who start IT companies get less investor funding; and you know we’re talking about beer at the White House! Our Villain of the Week: multiple racist gaffs create a fog around RNC chairman Michael Steele; and our Hero of the Week: Seattle City Light Superintendent Jorge Carrasco. CEOs say the darndest things: Tony Hsieh, Zappos, handles change gracefully.
