Thank you for telling the whole story

I want to commend Joe Naiman for his article about Bill Hitt and the history of bringing water to Rainbow!

I was at the LAFCO meeting when Mr. Hitt was forced to cease his remarks due to time constraints and I felt disappointed to not be able to hear his complete story.

I am so pleased that Mr. Naiman was inspired to get the whole story and that your editorial staff recognized the importance of giving enough space in the paper so we can learn from the past, to not repeat it in the future. Your newspaper is one of the last true examples of journalism for the sake of the art form.

I feel so lucky to have access to information that is so thorough and not trying to fit into a two-sentence tweets or spin a political view.

It is a luxury to sit and read your publication; it honors our history of keeping people well-informed for sustaining a healthy democracy! Thank you for your hard work and intelligent research and thoughtful editing!
