Whenever I want the facts and unbiased truth regarding what's going on around here...I look to the MDJ to provide them and, when I want a goiod dose of fiction...I look to our city government to provide it. So, ike our local pseudo city manager is so fond of saying: "It's a win-win situation."

CONGRATULATIONS!

Congratulations MDJ and all the individual award winners who were recognized. I can always count on my local newspaper to keep me informed of local and state news. I love my home town newspaper.

I like this paper, have subscribed for years but the amount of AP news is depressing. It is very slanted and a lot of times, more opinion than real news. Wish this could be changed.
