Giving the Budgeteer its due

I’ve been tough on the Trib for its coverage of the Red Plan. Although its also part of Forum Communications I have to tip my hat at the Budgeteer. Today’s story about the development of Plan B does credit to Jana Peterson the story’s author and the Budgeteer’s editor. Not bad for a publication that is published one seventh as often as the Tribune.

Jana has allowed a couple of her writers, notably Ralph Doty, to heap abuse on me personally but an editor she has the discretion to select what will be published in her pages. When I’ve responded to Doty Jana has clipped my wings a little more than I would have liked. Perhaps she has done the same to Ralph. As long as she is fair minded to both sides in the Red Plan debate I can’t fault her for this.
