"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."
