I'm very concerned, but I also see a potential opportunity for us.

I don't think it's right for us to say 'yes' or 'no.'

There's a lot of potential here in Flint Township and I'd like to have the opportunity to take us forward.

It's not an avalanche of lower prices, but it's better than it has been.

This is a very critical issue, not only for the employees of the Herald, but for the region. You are a tremendous source of information for us and an advertising medium for us. To be able to have a company that could own this paper that understands our culture up here and some of the things we are sensitive to is very, very important.

I am extremely confident it will be approved.
