We are reminded that a Hartford Courant story triggered the investigation of Mayor Eddie Perez. Dan Goren wrote a piece two years ago about a deal with longtime politico Abe Giles that apparently got the ball rolling. We’re told it’s referenced on page one of the Perez affadavit.

There are BIG reasons why newspapers matter…and more mundane reasons. I ‘m working on a story on the decline of newspapers (for a college alum magazine) and what it means to — well, people. Would welcome thoughts. My email : bcbarcar@sbcglobal.net
Thanks to all responders.
