Issue: January 15, 2015
Good morning!
Let's see, what do we have for you this fine day? Our feature story this
week, written by Assistant News Editor Howard Hardee, focuses on the
impact mental illness can have on homelessness and vice versa. It's a
tough combination, to say the least, and many of those affected aren't
motivated to seek treatment on their own.
In other news: Editor Melissa Daugherty defends the freedoms of speech
and the press; News Editor Tom Gascoyne gets to the bottom of a tree
controversy between Oroville and PG&E and contributor Evan Tuchinsky
looks into claims that reusable bags harbor more germs than the plastic
kind.
As always, browse around and you're bound to find more juicy stuff.
Read on!
