Unfortunately, Hardin County falls into an area where there is no legitimate news source, so Ward and the department can get away with whatever they want.

There is a great current crop of young journalists in town and that is encouraging. If I can ever help, drop me a line. Unless I do make a comeback and then I will likely start a twitter beef with you.
Finally, please keep supporting local journalism.

Unsure if I'm staying in journalism or not. It's always been a passion, but it's getting harder to survive and do the work I want to do. (Keep sending tips tho, I may free lance!) I may take a little time off to focus more on bitching about sports.

Unfortunately, the industry is changing & I'm moving along. WDRB kept its promises from day 1 & I'll always appreciate that. I will sorely miss the cast of characters I worked with. This will also be the 1st time I've been separated from Marcus Green in 25 years. So it's going to be an adjustment.
