they are only in agreement because it is cheaper. period. don't tell me the quality of your coverage is not impacted. memo to industry, if you like the way your business is going, keep looking to singleton for sage leadership. as long as he gets the gold, he doesn't give a crap about the safety of miners.
Gary, surprised you missed the announcement in Ed Padgett's blog about LAT closing down their OC production facility. That's a big deal and says a lot in a lot of different ways.
I hadn't heard that either. Amazing, the once great newspaper, three plants, growing circulation and revenues, solid leadership, reduced to maybe not even being in business...all in less than 15 years. Very, very sad indeed.
LAT news is shocking. Wow.
