IRBeHEARD CLOSES ITS DOORS

Going-Out-Of-Business Sale

This will be the last posting for IRBeHEARD.

I started this blog over a year ago because I was really bothered by the fact that citizens
couldn’t express contrary views about our local government here in IRB without fear of retribution. I guess I was thinking that IRBeHEARD might be able to change that somewhat, but I was wrong. Maintaining this blog has taken quite a bit of personal time and I’ve tried to post only information that could be substantiated by facts and public records. The personal price for insisting on free speech has unfortunately been very high.

Running this blog has been a learning experience for me—about local government, new technologies and about life. I thank those of you who have applauded my efforts; the time served certainly wasn’t for naught. I do hope that someone else picks up where I am signing off but that individual should only do so knowing that what comes with the territory might not be worth it. It’s all yours now, Leo…take it away!

RIP IRBeHEARD, you will be missed. Thank you Nancy for all of your hard work and effort to share your views and inform our city, we appreciate you. My favorite post is still the Pumpkins at Midnight, that was classic.

Nancy,

You have done a great job with IRBeHeard, keeping the citizens in the information loop for city news of IRB. The city commission divulgers little of negative news such as the budget making process or spending year to date. Your site constantly informed us of what was going on behind the commission's veil of secrecy.

My best wishes to you.

Regards,
