I read the Freeman this morning. The reporter had a very poorly documented list of requests for changes by the legislature. She mentioned Dart and Noonan, both of whom are leaving. Dart's seemed ridiculous, Noonans seemed a little more reasonable, cut the bloated Exec's staff. Gary Bischoff another short timer, and Kevin Roberts had some good ideas, but who the Hell could tell if they are feasible with the vague, poorly researched article. I guess it is going to be up to us to go the county building and get the list for ourselves.
It is disheartening to know that the local paper can't even go through the trouble of listing each request. The Times Herald Record and Poughkeepsie Journal create searchable databases with vital information on important subjects, while the Freeman leaves us guessing. Is it a lazy reporter or poor editorial direction, either way the Freeman sucks.
The Freeman is really a very poorly run daily. If the others can run a decent paper why can't the Freeman?
