Sorry for the delay with today’s headlines – computer troubles on my end. Monday’s will be back on schedule at the crack of dawn!
Many thanks for your hard work (and to everyone else who has had this beat). For those of us who rise a tad later, it’s wonderful having this digest available!
Here’s an article on review of police services… which given how bloated the police budget in this town has become cannot happen soon enough…

Really appreciate the thanks, Steve. Glad to be able to help with such a valued service.
And thanks for the link suggestion, samg.
