calendarlive.com: 'Futurama' writer is elected to head guild: "Animation writer Patric M. Verrone was overwhelmingly elected Tuesday to head the union representing Hollywood screen and TV writers, vowing to take a tougher stance with studios and pledging to step up organizing efforts.
Verrone, whose TV credits include 'Futurama,' 'Muppets Tonight' and 'Rugrats,' won 69% of the 2,012 ballots cast by the Writers Guild of America, West. Currently secretary-treasurer of the 9,000-member union, Verrone defeated 'Pirates of the Caribbean' writer Ted Elliott, who had been endorsed by outgoing president Daniel Petrie Jr."
