I disagree Russell. I applaud David's efforts as list mgr. on this list to
point out stories in the local press, be they in the STrib, the SW Journal
or elsewhere, when they pertain to city government and public affairs issues
of importance to city residents. I see no conflict whatsoever. Often on
this list, we speak of a need for more transparency in city government, and
I think we need all the help we can get in gaining a better understanding
and overview of the many complex public issues continually in progress
around us. I appreciate tips/links to relevant information in any media
source-- it's easy enough to delete whatever isn't of interest. In fact,
I'd like to see more direct input to this list from local writers/columnists
and elected officials than we do. Bring it on!
