A1: "Locals come out strongly in support of Mesa Airline"

Cindy Barks summarizes the Council echo chamber about scheduled passenger air service. The missing bit is that Council hosted the same debate and made the same vote last time this came up, but the DOT went with the other guys anyway, so we might like to know why it might go differently this time.

Cindy didn't write the headline that gets the company's name wrong, so no blame there.

  2. okay we got :
    Resident John Solomon
    ( I assume "resident of Prescott" but he could be from anywhere in the quad cities area, or Tibet for that manner, the piece does not say)
    City Manager Steve Norwood who has 5 "comments" from persons unknown
    and
    Prescott Chamber of Commerce President Doug Bristol
    Supporting Mesa Airlines.
    which is um...
    3 actual people and a list of 5 confirmed communists in the defense..dang! wrong decade .. I mean 5 positive comments from "Persons Unknown" for Mesa which is a total of( uh..carry the three, round to the nearest dollar..) ..8 people!
    The headline makes it sound like there a crowds marching in the street carrying banners in favor of Mesa..hmmm think the fix is in?

I encourage you to share your own views and experience with me and other readers. How you do that matters, and I'm committed to maintaining a place where readers and commenters can feel safe from adolescent BS. So here's the deal:

There are two kinds of anonymous comments: those by people who have a genuine fear of revenge from the dark side, and those from darksiders just hiding to avoid accountability. You may post comments anonymously, but I reserve the right to treat anonymous comments as found items that belong to me and do with them as I see fit.

If, on the other hand, you're willing to stand by your convictions and post under your own name or a regular handle, your comments belong to you, and I'll edit them only on egregious violations of respect for others.

If this doesn't work for you, I'm sure you'll be happier somewhere else.
