Issue: October 23, 2014
Good morning, readers!
I hope everyone is ready for the upcoming election. Just in case you're
not quite there, though, we at the CN&R have put together a whole
Election Issue just for you! Check out our feature stories, which
include a Q&A with Chico City Council candidates (note, the online
version is unedited--for more concise answers, check the print edition);
a rundown of propositions and an in-depth look at Proposition 1; and a
comparison of Measures A and B--the medical marijuana cultivation
measures. Also check the News section for the dirt on a proposed
half-cent sales tax increase in Paradise. And, what many people have
been waiting for, are the CN&R endorsements. Find 'em in Editorials.
In other news: The Chico City Council shines some sunshine on city
salaries and benefits; there's a new cupcake slinger in town; and Arts
Devo gives us the skinny on Beer Week.
Thanks for reading,
Meredith J. Graham, associate editor
