No Good Deed Goes Unpunished

Saturday's UL observed that a local paper, the Claremont Villager, is shutting its doors due to declining ad revenue.  The money quote?  "The re-entry of the (Claremont) Daily Eagle was decisively bad for the Villager.

 

Nothing government does goes unpunished.  It's hard to compete for advertising when the state chooses sides.

So maybe the executioners council can scrounge up a loan for the Villager as well?  That would give the taxpayers a competing interest in both papers and save us all the trouble of choosing for ourselves.
