Full Story:

Commissioners… community… time keeper… I am Jeff Hanson. I think we are following a dangerous path. We are becoming more and more an oligarchy, and less and less a democracy. We need a vibrant, diverse, hard-hitting free press if we are going to survive as a democracy. Thank you.

The media's job is to interest the public in the public interest. -John Dewey
