This was pretty simple, but no one in the area is doing it yet. The readers seem to like the idea and it makes sense to ask them what questions they want answered. Of course, there's still a need for a gatekeeper, an editor, a JOURNALIST, but I've always seen a need for that. Indeed, I've seen a need for more of that.

1) Ask the people what questions they want answered.

2) Go ask the Mayor the questions the people want answered and video tape it.

3)Rinse and Repeat.

4) ??? Profit. Heh.

I see this idea growing this year. There is a business plan (not for this but the whole free press project) to take it to the next level, but with no capital there's only so much one person can do.
