Sassa, they never follow up, never. They don't give a damn about the community or the people who live here. They want the instant profit, the web hit or paper sold on sensationalism. If they cared about Racine, they would hire locally. Just more out-of-town leeches attached to the residents of Racine. When was the last time they had a local publisher? Outlanders, profiteers, carpetbaggers. "My, you have such a lovely city. Let's exploit it for personal profit. We don't live here, so we don't care what we do here."
You know, it's just frickin' AMAZING to me that I have to go to a website run by a lone volunteer to find out about crime in my city. I listen to the police scanner and I hear all sorts of horrific things happening in various neighborhoods, and nary a peep from the local "news sources." Like a news blackout in wartime, or propaganda spoonfed from the party's official information dissemination bureaucracy.
The only possible advantage I can see to having all of our lying masters concentrated in the downtown area is that maybe we could wipe them out in one fell swoop and start from scratch with a city for the people and by the people of Racine. As it is, CityHallDowntownRacinePostJWaxRamacDRCJournalTimes just piss in our faces every day and laugh, laugh, laugh.
I've noticed that most of the "news" stories on there are duplicates, or old. Not much new at all. This new website is a sorry excuse for a newspaper. Sadly lacking any real content.
I am trying to report more and more of what's going on. Some days just the simple call list kicks my ass. Getting the simple call list is simple, reading all of tne incident reports takes time (so much BS in this town)I found out going out of town shuts everything down until I get back. If there are any volunteers looking to lend a hand entering stuff on my site, let me know.
All the news that is FIT TO PRINT... hmmm.... I guess the ugly side isn't fit to print?
I've managed to get the $20 yearly subscription, that I fell for, down to about $12 so far using the sunday coupon section.
Will they allow me to cancel it when it gets down to free? What a piece of trash. I'm not reading it, just stacking it up for the weekly trash collection.
Orbs, I agree with you 100%. I am not defending the Urinal, but at least they print the news, the bad news. Look at that USELESS (and I used to be a HUGE fan) Racine Post. They refuse to report on the bad things in this city, AND, they have become HORRIBLE at censoring comments, simply because they don't agree with the comment. This is the truth! I wrote something negative about tousis' plans for a West Racine Gas Station (USING NO PROFANITY) and POOF! the comments were deleted and in fact the blog was shut down for further comments. Pete and Dustin are PATHETIC in my opinion. So again, I really can't stand the Urinal, but at this point, I rate them higher than the Post.

They have an echo....
What's with any follow-up? There's a few stories you never hear anything about after the fact. M-m-m-m-m-m

Thank God, however, that our mayor and city administrator "understand that our city is hurting" as they loot every last dime out of it.
O Riverview, my Riverview,
so many invoke your name
as they ignore your wounds,
ignore your people,
and play the power game.
O Riverview, my Riverview,
you'll always be the same
because lying sons-of-bitches
pretend to care
while amassing fortune and fame.
O Riverview, my Riverview,
home of the poor and maimed,
just keep self-destructing,
imploding and dying,
while we party on your grave.
