Yesterday's Emerald City News Today

Powderville fund raising update; reprise of a strong election 2009 letter

There's not much happening on the Emerald City political news front this morning, so just to keep the discussion going, we'll highlight a couple of items which have been been more or less languishing on the the Standard-Examiner "Live" website during the past few days:

First, as a followup to the Powder Mountain update which we published on Sunday, the Std-Ex carries this information-rich Di Lewis piece, reporting on the Powderville 120's fund raising drive:
Powder Mountain fight continues
This story has gathered a fair number of Std-Ex reader comments. Perhaps a few of our readers would be interested in moseying over there to throw in their own two cents.

Secondly, we'll once again highlight this strong Matthew Campbell Letter, which gentle reader Bill C. linked in an update to this WCF article on Monday:
Vote for new council to "reign" in Godfrey
This letter made it to the hard-copy edition Letters to the Editor column this morning, so we thought if would be fitting to give it a reprise, and provide the opportunity for our readers to give it a second look.

And before closing, we'll again make note of this blockbuster WCF story, which has not yet found its way into onto either the Std-Ex's electronic or paper & ink pages. We'll be keeping a close eye on this, in the hope that this story will not remain conspicuous in its absence from Std-Ex reporting in upcoming days. And now that we've brought this issue up, would anyone like to lay odds on whether the Std-Ex will try to bury this story?

That's it for now, gentle readers. Comment on any of the above... or treat this as an open topic thread.
