Editorial

First, I want to thank all the people that responded to our online fundraising campaign. It is a testament to our community that we can afford to go on with our work.

As we grow closer to the August election, I thought it was important that I spell out why we do not endorse candidates. You can read the reasons under a section of the same name. We have all our regular columnists from VanRiper to Dr Michele. These people work hard to impart a little expertise to you, the reader. Don’t forget to check put our guest columnist, Supervisor of Elections Vicki Davis and our new columnist, Karen Ripper from Council on Aging.

Friends & Neighbors is your source of what is going on in local government. We may touch on state and national, but we really excel at reporting locally. The insights you can’t get anywhere else.

Send us your thoughts and concerns. If you have a problem that hasn’t been answered let us know and we will see if we can find a solution. Think you want to join our roster of columnists. Let me know, I would be glad to have a discussion.

Have a good Sunday morning.
