WHAT READERS SAY: “Just a note to say your reporters are doing a great job of covering local news.  The emphasis on city government is very important for helping citizens to see the connect and disconnect of city government policy on the quality of life in the city.  This reporting is also important in developing a common perspective about our community which not only makes communication across many different lines possible but also helps to develop a common moral perspective, a shared mind of sorts, as well.” – John H.
