The Paris Reporter has, as its primary focus, informing the people of this town about the news and issues affecting them. These words are in the mission statement at the top of the page.
Most of the information posted is researched by the editors; some is the result of research by others; all of the information is intended to be accurate, timely, and pertinent to the issues of the moment. If we learn that information posted was inaccurate, we will do our best to correct it.
In reference to a portion of our 11-16-09 posting, People? Choose?:
"Three weeks ago I received figures [from the town office] of what has been spent on Sharon Jackson's buyout. I was under the impression that the amount was for the budgeted year July 1 09 to June 30 10. It turns out the figures given me included a lump sum payment paid on the last payday of the fiscal year ended June 30 09. So, the figures I gave [posted in the 11-16-09 article] are incorrect."

Although that means there is more money available than the earlier post stated, the larger questions still remain:
*Whose town?
*Whose money?
*Whose agenda?
