Mi Casa, Mi Vida - a new column that I believe will be helpful for many people.

I’ve got a bunch of requests for information to different agencies on various news topics. For example, there were two deaths at the same apartment complex over the weekend. I also filled in the second request for information about reports of a well-dressed man found dead behind a semi-truck in Mt. Shasta. And I’m looking into reports about Montague City Council’s decisions regarding Fire Chief giving special permission to use city fire equipment among other articles in the works. I’m just one person, and I apologize that the south county isn’t getting the coverage I had hoped for. But I’m working on it!
