Me here. We’ve all read Elaine’s DGreport now for over two years, and recently she asked us if we might help her out for a while. I said yes, so I’ll be posting over here for at least a bit.
I put up the video of Ms. Richards.
And yeah, consider me a pulling blocker on all the trolls, and self-righteous scolds, and stoopid jamokes trying to wearing her out, not being mindful they’re in a neighbor’s house here.
Use a pseudonym? Fine. There’s plenty of people who’d like to say something but don’t want blowback from blowhard trolls, and fallout in their personal lives. Understood.
There’s a difference between someone using a pseudonym, and a troll with an agenda and an attitude. If you’re registered, and use your real name, your comments are worth a bit of care. Know up front, if you choose to engage here as a known real person using your real name, I’ll work to spike any negative comments directed towards you instead of towards what you are saying.
I’m hoping I’m just the first of several who agree to try and contribute. I tend to go wider than DG, and I’m not a career journalist like EJ. I write about village matters, council matters mainly, infrastructure, development, TIF. Sometimes county, sometimes state, sometimes left field. Where EJ calls people and does interviews, I stick mostly to the public record; what’s on-line and already in agendas, minutes, documents, and on and on. If it’s on-line I’ll try and find it.
Elaine does her here gig very well, and she’s the boss. I do my gig…ummm, too. All of the above? Not hard and fast, not final, not etched in stone. Times change, and lately they’ve been changing really fast. EJ tries her best to keep you in the loop, and I’ll try and help too.
How about you?

Mark-how is your content different than what your all ready writing on your own blog? What are you going to bring to this forum that’s different?
Personally, I find conversations regarding ‘public record, council matters, infrastructure, development, and TIF’ to be cost effective alternative’s to Ambien.
Why not bring a point of view to this blog that’s different than what your all ready providing on your own blog?
It’s hard work to keep blogs stoked, so I’m bringing in some additional voices (hoping to hear more of yours, BTW, Meat). In fact, readers should consider this a open invitation to post on the topic of their choice. I will continue doing what I’ve been doing, so what this really means is there will be more to read (or fall asleep to), not less.
And when I say additional voices, I mean those from both sides of local issues and across the political spectrum. If it doesn’t work, it doesn’t. I go back to Plan A. Nothing could be easier than adapting blog material to suit the audience.
Let me know who’s game.
