next will hear from the Millers owners of the link for ledger.

Thank you, Mayor. We are here this evening to make some special request. As you know, my husband and I own and operate the local newspaper circulation about 2000

dropping their councilmembers as owners of the paper. I and my wife are here to appeal to the people of Lakeville for help or readership is dropping the Lakeville leisure dies.

We are concerned that Lakeville sense of community could die along with it.

What’s because this decline in readership? the Internet, namely I mean there are of course still people out there who enjoy a real newspaper with their morning cup of coffee. But increasingly, people are choosing the quick free option of just reading headlines on their computer.

So, first request is the city’s permission newspaper distribution boxes throughout, we only have to

and will be launching a website in a few months. Basically, an online version of the paper and would like to include a link to the city’s website and vice versa.

Interesting councilmembers and questions
