STARTING THE NEW YEAR OFF RIGHT

Dave Munday wrote a very balanced story in the P&C today on the County Council meeting scheduled for tomorrow night. He outlined the controversy over Supervisor Dan Davis' intention to change our form of County Council operations. The article gives both sides of the argument and indicates the importance of tomorrow's meeting.

As is always the case, here is where things go haywire.

GE&P received numerous calls this morning from people who read the article or heard about the article through the grapevine and checked the P&C website to leave a comment. No one could find the story on line.

GE&P called the P&C to inquire as to the reason for the exclusion of the story on line. We were told it is the practice of the P&C to post stories on the website as soon as they are submitted. Since this story was submitted late last night, it was posted immediately. We were told that the story had been posted in the story index for January 2, 2011. That was yesterday. Well, that makes a lot of sense.

There's just one tiny thing wrong with this explanation. GE&P and several others searched the P&C archives today for this story and it wasn't there. Had the story been posted last night, it would have popped up under the search. How many of you readers are wondering about exactly what's going on with our only "newspaper of general circulation"?

UPDATE:

GLORY BE!!!!!

GE&P just received a call and, guess what? This article has been moved to today's P&C story index. It is the LAST article on the list. Considering the number of complaints the P&C received about this issue, maybe they reconsidered their decision as to placement of the article? Hmmmmmm. You can bet that Mr. Davis is not pleased with this development.

See you at the BC Council meeting tomorrow... Maybe we can call the bill to have REGISTERED primaries (in other words Democrats ONLY vote in Democrat Primaries and Republicans ONLY vote in Republican primaries).. the DAN DAVIS voter fairness LAW!... what do you think?

I, myself was not in attendance at last night's Berkeley County Council meeting, but know many many who were there! I can not believe that Mr. Davis gets offended by Mr. Calahan's comments regarding Republican/Democrat labels. If It walks like a duck and quacks like a duck.....guess what? It's a duck! First things first, looks to me like people need to educate themselves before they pronounce themselves as a "conservative/Republican" ..we have enough dishonesty and corruption in the political world as it is!
