Allow me to go on record to say I totally and completely enjoy the local paper. I have always subscribed and will always subscribe. I understand what it is, accepted that and love it.
Yep...ads do pay the bills and the ads are there for those subscribers to read.
I never understood all the whining about the paper. I do not rely on it for what it seems others do, and I suggest dropping your subscription if rumors is what you want to be your news.
This particular issue is one on which I will not comment because I do not have all the facts and it was resolved or is being resolved.
I would ask those who look down their nose at this paper to check the New York Times for their correction page, or their slant on things...same with the WSJ or any paper
And as far as any money being made by the developer....the risks this family took early on....well, lets just say I do not begrudge one cent.
