Please don’t forget our October fundraiser. We try to bring you stories that get overlooked by others but which are vitally important to those who wish to make wise decisions come election time.
We’ve covered State Police, the legislature, the Department of Hospitals, legal developments, wrongful convictions, private prisons, and a multitude of other subjects. But it does take money to pursue some of these stories. For instance, I am working on a story about how jury selection can be just that – selective and to get that story, I’ve had to make records requests of all 64 parish clerks of court. Some are helpful and forthcoming with information. Others want to be paid. One parish wants $1,000 while another has sent a bill for $285.
I’m not buying a mansion or a jet with your contributions. I don’t even own a suit. At my age, I don’t even buy a full tank of gas. I’m using your hard-earned money to go after the hard-to-get stories.
If you can squeeze a little out of your inflation-riddled budget, please click on the yellow DONATE button in the column to the right of this post and pay by credit card. Or you may send a check to Capital News Service, P.O. Box 922, Denham Springs, Louisiana 70727. (That’s the way the bank account is set up and my bank is getting picky about checks to LouisianaVoice because the account is in the name of Capital News Service.)
As always, your generosity is deeply appreciated.
Louisiana Voice
