<p>An easy way to read the article would be to subscribe, either for the print or digital copy. The Record is doing a fantastic job of investigative reporting on important issues. Such reporting is the bedrock of democracy and deserves financial support.
It would be interesting to do a cost-benefit analysis to show how much is saved to our benefit - whether it is health costs, preventing environmental damage, better decision making - compared to the fairly modest costs of supporting a god local newspaper.</p>
