Dave Umhoefer

Dave Umhoefer (David E. Umhoefer) (born 1961) is a reporter for the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. In 2008, he won a Pulitzer Prize for Local Reporting for a six-month investigation of Milwaukee County's pension system.^[1][2] The investigation exposed a corrupt, illegal scheme in which more than 350 Milwaukee County employees had undeservedly boosted their pensions by a collective total of over $50 million.^[3] For example, "One employee qualified for a 25% pension increase because she worked a half-day at a county park in 1978."

Umhoefer graduated from the University of Wisconsin–Madison School of Journalism in 1983 and is from La Crosse, Wisconsin.
