Comments on: Meet John Doe: New county budget means higher taxes for some http://rockrivertimes.com/2012/10/03/meet-john-doe-new-county-budget-means-higher-taxes-for-some/ The Rock River Times - THE VOICE OF THE COMMUNITY SINCE 1993 Fri, 24 May 2013 02:20:13 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.1 hourly 1 By: Paul Gorski http://rockrivertimes.com/2012/10/03/meet-john-doe-new-county-budget-means-higher-taxes-for-some/comment-page-1/#comment-6606 Paul Gorski Wed, 03 Oct 2012 18:46:17 +0000 http://rockrivertimes.com/?p=40530#comment-6606 John, I think if you ever spoke with me you'd find we agree on more issues. Regarding Gorski-Care, would you rather have tipping fees go to political contributors or to reducing tax dollars spent on existing health and education programs? I choose spending the money on children rather than placating campaign contributors or folks that will hold a dinner in my honor thanking me for the "county's generosity."

But in this context, he has a point. Regarding the RRS, their failure to not only cover important news events, is only exceeded by their complete failure to dig into any issue. They accept statements from local politicians at face value. I subscribe to the Chicago Tribune. Pick up the Sunday edition and compare it to the RRS for that day. You would think these publications came from different states. The Trib exposes graft and corruption, the RRS front page talks about a cow farting in the pasture.
