Utilizing the successful InMaricopa model, which leverages seasoned journalists, honesty, integrity, and a will to serve the public, Managing Editor Elias Weiss is confident InBuckeye will become the daily port-of-call for residents seeking to inform themselves about the issues that affect them most.

"Buckeye deserves — and demands — its own source of hyperlocal news and information," Weiss says. "A thriving free press is absolutely requisite in any growing community; it amplifies the voices of the silenced, trumpets the successes of the city and its residents, and holds the government accountable. A transparent government is a more trustworthy, competent and productive government, something under which every American is entitled to live."
