On Rock County settles with former employees

Posted on November 3 at 8:39 p.m. ( Suggest removal )

The Gazette continues to pursue the story behind the resignation of the county's human resources director. We have filed three open records requests and have received no records so far. We are waiting for the county's response to our latest request. This process is often messy and time-consuming, but we are determined to follow it through. We will publish a follow-up story as soon as we believe we have something worth reporting.

Posted on October 1 at 11:49 a.m. ( Suggest removal )

The Gazette immediately requested copies of all complaints against Becker and other documents related to his resignation. The county is considering that request and has about 10 days to respond. The Gazette will follow with a story as soon as the county responds or when other relevant information becomes available.

Contrary to rumor, the sheriff's office reports that police did not escort Becker from the building.

On Early harvest for Rock County marijuana crop

Posted on July 29 at 10:04 p.m. ( Suggest removal )

We were fine with Dank Angel's posts regarding whether marijuana should be legalized. That's an important and growing debate in America. We allow such comments all the time.

We drew the line when Dank Angel detailed the best ways to grow and smoke pot. That is not appropriate on a newspaper Web site.

On Is it over yet (the Jackson thing)?

Posted on July 8 at 10:37 a.m. ( Suggest removal )

Give me a break. Turn the channel. Read a book.

Michael Jackson was one of the greatest entertainers of all time. Millions of people across the globe loved his work, and many had strong feelings for the man. He was abused as a child and lived in a constant and perpetual spotlight that none of us could possibly appreciate or understand.

Without a doubt, he grew stranger and stranger, but his incredible work and influence endured. And will - for many years to come.

Just because you don't get it doesn't mean the millions who do are not entitled to say good-bye in whatever fashion they choose. The seemingly endless hours of TV coverage clearly had an audience or the networks and cable stations wouldn't have bothered.

It will all be over soon, and then you can back to your regular programming. Me, I'll take Michael Jackson tributes anytime.
