"Clearly the Commissioners and County Administrator have only paid lip service.."
So...that's objective? there is no bias in those statements? As someone who honestly wants to learn what is going on, do I read that and say "this is a news source that is reporting the facts and I should read to learn more about this situation?" Or do I read those statements and conclude "this is a very biased source and I'm only going to hear a one-sided viewpoint of this matter".
I picked up the POA bulletin to get a factual accounting of what is happening with this situation. I read it. Based on the POA's descriptive adjectives, I have a very hard time viewing the POA as an objective source.
And I'm dissapointed in that... because I was looking for factual reporting.

If, after reading the facts in the case, it is clear they point to poor planning and management, I would expect a news source to connect the dots and spell it out for the reader. Sorry you don't like the message, but don't take it out on the messenger.
