News? The Whatcom Independent tells us that, yes, the city council did pass the Samish Neighborhood plan last Monday. We waited all week for the Herald to tell us - but nada. Is it still news if the Herald ignores it? Yes.
And so a paragraph here to compliment the Indy. I helped start the Indy four years ago this month and was its publisher till mid 2006. Since then I've not been involved in operations though I still own a piece of it. Each Thursday I enjoy picking it up to see what local issues it covers that the other papers have ignored. And the Indy most always comes through nicely. The Indy is truly independent with no hidden agenda and no big money behind it hoping to gain a benefit from its opinions or the slant it puts on reporting. It also covers only local issues - which means it adds real value to all it reports on. I'm proud of the role I played in helping it get started - but all credit for the current issues goes to Sheri, Deb, Peter, Frank, Jonathan, Viki, Tom and Heather. They are now starting the 5th year of publication of this truly local independent paper.
