[All] Susan K's column Green Recovery

[Kevin Thomason]

I totally agree Greg.  We don’t want to become a community like Guelph that has lost its newspaper.  There is still an important role for reporters, community information, letters to the editor, and the ensuing conversations that just don’t happen in other mediums.

How best are we to proceed?  Is there someone who can draft an initial version of the a letter that we could then help edit?

Cheers,
Kevin.
