Somebody gets it and it isn't Jeff Havens. People say they miss his articles? What, exactly, did you miss about them? I guess you missed that Havens had every person in Rockford tied to organized crime. When Jeff Havens was writing for this paper it was complete nonsense. Every week a mafia story that had no basis of truth. There have been some good reporters in Rockford over the years but Jeff Havens was far from one of them. I guess you get what you pay for.

Now everyone who has to drive through Rockford on their way to other casinos near by get to simply enjoy the thrill of an impoverished, disgustingly dirty city where the threat of getting hit by stray gun fire is a very real possibility. Shame that Rockford will never see a penny in taxes from all the income that casinos generate, or that Rockford citizens will miss out on the jobs that a casino creates in the area. As long as people like Mr. Havens feels safe from the Roaring 20's era of Casinos, Rockford will be able to sleep at night. Ah yes, kudos.

We need more REAL journalists like him throughout our country. I miss his hard-hitting, fact-finding articles. Hope Mr. Havens is doing well.
