If Joe Blow down the street were arrested for poaching locally, it would be in the paper, with name, etc. in the police blotter at the very least. If Joe were arrested in southern Florida or another state, the odds are we wouldn't hear a thing. However, Mark Morse is not Joe Blow. Poaching, whether on his own land or the land of others, is illegal. Leaving carcasses to rot is not only illegal, it is immoral in my mind. The whole thing reeks and does say something about the ethics and morals of the man. That is something we, as Villagers and potential Villagers, have a right to know about. Not to condemn him but simply to help us decide if we want to risk our investment because the man running our development seems to be lacking morally. To me, it goes hand in hand with the IRS issues and the settlement -- it shows a need to be careful when dealing with the man and to take his promises with a very large grain of salt.

If the Sun wants to be considered even remotely as a newspaper and not just a TV PR thing, it needs to report all of the news that pertains to TV, the Villagers and, yes, the developer, not just the pretty stories. Doesn't need to be headlines, doesn't even need to be in the first section, but does need to be reported.
