I think there trying’ harder for customer satisfaction. my aegis landed in a puddle of water. needless to say a phone call was made. I was delivered a fresh paper right up to the door.

I know notice was given to subscribers (except me, curiously) recently that the Aegis would now be delivered by those who deliver The Sun – as a cost-cutting measure.

Not really that big of a deal, except for those who don’t get their Sunpaper delivered until late in the day, but it may portend things to come.

Getting calls about the Aegis closing up shop in a few weeks. Several people called to say they did not receive their paper and when they called the Aegis they got no answer. Others say they were referred to the Sun papers circulation desk.
Today, a constituent called my home and asked my wife what am I going to do about “saving” the Aegis. Do not know how true the reports are. Has anyone heard anything about the Aegis shutting down?

I too am going to miss the Baltimore Examiner for some of the same reasons already mentioned…it brought balance to the Baltimore area. I loved the 10 worst ideas -(The dim bulb of the week), as well as the 10 Brightest ideas. The Examiner did not show favoritism- I have seen both major parties in the brightest and worst ideas. I liked to think the Examiner was evaluating the facts and then reporting them, what a novel idea. I hope Gregory Kane lands somewhere, he offers a refreshing and common sense perspective.

Dan:
How, in the name of all that’s good and holy, did you get into Government? I was under the distinct impression that Government folk didn’t understand common sense or logic.
I would absolutely love to see Mary D defend the appointed school board or Nancy defend her position of no additional taxes with respect to the hotel tax. Oh my God, the list could go on forever and then everybody would find out what really goes on. Maybe that’s the reason it doesn’t happen – the taxpayer would be able to hold the representative accountable.

RichieC,
Good idea. Currently you can see many elected/appointed officials talk about the issues on cable. You can also watch HCN (Harford Cable Network) for updates from these same officials. These shows are all taped and can be seen several times a week or month depending on the format.
Your idea has merit. Can you imagine debates over home assesments, school board selection, right-to-carry, hotel tax, state and local budgets, and taxes? The list could go on and on. Sounds informative and even fun.
Only one problem, it makes common sense.
