I also teach part time so that I can pay the immediate bills and work 50-60 hours a week (including work on the site). I have a Masters Degree in journalism and have sacrificed time and significant amounts of money to keep SL City News alive. I will be interviewing both mayoral candidates next week. Where else will you get to hear from Biskupski finally talking about development and growth beyond economic? No one needs to donate if they don't want to. But in today's climate local journalism only survives with community support. Every penny I earn will go towards not only sustaining SL City News but expanding its reach, coverage and staff.

Your site is definitely the best spot for real news on development.
