Welcome to the Bluegrass Examiner blog!
The Bluegrass Examiner will seek to fill a void in Lexington news coverage. We will cover city politics and issues such as economic development, crime and local business. The Bluegrass Examiner will also offer editorial opinion and seek to stimulate healthy discussion.
Ultimately, we plan to migrate the Examiner to its own Web site, at which time the blog will become more of an open forum to discuss local issues and for me to wax eloquently from my soap box. Until then, the blog will contain a mix of hard news reported within a professional journalistic framework, and opinion. Opinion will be clearly labeled.
I believe the most important role of a free press in a democratic society is to inform the public in order that they may self-govern. The Examiner will seek to keep the citizens of Lexington informed as to what their leaders are doing. Hopefully, this will motivate readers to involve themselves in the political process. After all, the actions of our government, particularly local government, can have a profound impact on our lives and wallets.
I welcome your comments and your participation and look forward to becoming a part of the community.
