"It costs a lot of money to look this cheap." — Dolly Parton
Dear Reader,

Dolly probably wasn’t referring to independent, paywall-free local journalism with this quote, but the point stands: Many things are much more costly than they may appear at first glance. We’re proud to provide journalism of the highest quality for our region, and we never require readers to contribute financially to benefit from the information in the stories we publish.

When costs go up, we don’t have subscription revenue or wealthy owners to help defray expenses; we rely on the support of readers like yourself to help keep us going. You’re not currently a PublicSource member, so we’re asking: If you value the service we provide for our region, can you take a moment to help us keep it available by making a gift of $25 or more today ([link removed]) ?

Become a member by making a gift of support. ([link removed])
With our thanks,

The PublicSource team
