Some things worth noting this week:
• In this week’s Guest Commentary section, we’re running a response to our recent election-integrity coverage from Pima County Administrator Chuck Huckelberry. You’ll also note that the commentary is a smidge longer than normal: We usually run pieces that are about 725 words long, and this one comes in at almost 3,400 words.
We’re running this both to be fair and to get a variety of information out there concerning this extremely important issue. As for the specifics of Huckelberry’s response (which can be found in all its glory at the TW blog) … well, all I’ll say is this: We fully, completely and unapologetically stand behind our previous coverage.
The election-integrity activists also got a copy of Huckelberry’s guest commentary, and Bill Risner–the lawyer for the Pima County Democratic Party who was the spoon that started stirring things up–sent a response to it. That, too, can be found at blog.tucsonweekly.com.
Of course, as the election-integrity story develops further, we’ll be following it.
• On a completely different note … if you’re on MySpace or Facebook, be sure to become either a friend (MySpace) or a fan (Facebook) of the Tucson Weekly. We have not done much with our respective pages in recent months, but that’s going to change soon. Check it out! Be our friend/fan!
• Finally, if you’re interested in being a Tucson Weekly intern–and you can receive school credit for the internship–drop me a line soon, as we’ll be selecting our spring-semester interns in no time. The e-mail address you’ll want to put in the “To” line is jboegle@tucsonweekly.com.
