If you are reading this series of news items about our town of Paris, and decide that these are items of concern, tell a friend. Tell 3 friends.
If you are reading this and wish there was a chance to write a snappy and zingy response like you can on the on-line edition of the Lewiston Sun Journal, sorry; can't help you there.
The Town of Paris is in crisis. Everyone in Paris is affected. Everyone in Paris needs to know and care that there are folks who have a private agenda at work. There is no one to prevent wrong decisions being made on behalf of the entire town except the voters. And voters need to know they have to step up.
It is a good thing when the local newspapers pick up on a serious issue and report it factually, enlightening the public. Even if the public, sometimes, doesn't really want all that responsibility.
However, there are incidents, documents, situations, that don't get to the public press in time for a deadline, or may not get into the public press because of an editorial lack of interest or choice of topic. This is when a private effort can offer an alternative source of information.
The Paris Reporter may be a small operation; but, we have an ear to the ground. First time readers: this blog doesn't end at the bottom of the first page; check "older posts." We go back to July 5.
