Changes

I have noticed a change in the Upper Rogue Independent since Nancy Leonard published her Editorial that questioned whether some citizens of Shady Cove trusted their city hall.

It suggested that the city leadership take a long hard look at themselves and their ability to make decisions.

Now it appears that a major advertiser has not been buying the habitual full page ads. Could it be that one of the ways Shady Cove controls, even what is published, is to convince its’ businesses not to purchase, or at least reduce advertising space from any media that dares to disagree with city hall?

Rumor is that the mayor was furious when he heard of the editorial in advance and called the Upper Rogue Independent to indignantly complain. He then responded by countering through the use of the publicly funded Insider, a frequent habit.

In that same Insider he asks the city residents if he should discontinue the Insider apparently inferring that if it does not present his particular agenda, it will present nothing.

A good way to blind the public to the goings-on in city hall. Why is there now a clerk position unfilled?  Is that an excuse to provide less service to the community because  of a vote failure?
