General Manager’s Note — July 2008
Written by Traci Rodriguez Friday, 25 July 2008
Last month my mailbox filled with e-mails from residents in the Gracywoods and North Park Estates neighborhood associations who had concerns about a new health clinic being built near their neighborhood.
A June 27 meeting with the Travis County Healthcare District and neighborhood representatives confirmed that this is a controversial issue about which many of our readers needed more information.
Because we are a monthly publication, we are able to dissect a complex issue by breaking it down, pulling information from many different sources and providing graphics to aid in our presentation. We ask the right questions of the right people, and in this month’s healthcare story, we show how the Travis County Healthcare District cares for the uninsured. We offer you a better understanding of this relatively unknown taxing district and how it affects you.
One of the many things I love about working for Community Impact Newspaper is that we are careful as we report on controversial topics to give the reader the information needed to form intelligent opinions. With our new website up and running, we now have a place for reader feedback and interaction. We are interested in your opinions and plan to develop forums for discussion, not only with other readers, but sources and staff. I’ll be watching for any comments you might want to share concerning our top stories at www.impactnews.com.
