Discretionary Dollars, Exercise, and McCain for June 10, 2008
MI4 is a work always in progress. For example, this column was originally “Today’s Must Read Stories.” Then it morphed into “Today’s Top Five Stories.” That still doesn’t sound right. These aren’t always the “above the fold” stories that lead a newspaper. You’ll see the big three papers giving those stories a lot of attention. For example, today it would be the poor tomato, the happy Ken Griffey, and as always, the economy.
I believe you can’t miss those articles. So, this column will focus on the stories that affect the region, but that might be missed by anyone just scanning their favorite paper. Let’s call them “Today’s Don’t Miss Articles.”
To make it easier to scan this column daily I’ll simply lead with a paragraph and finish with the links. Like so:
Today the Sentinel writes that discretionary dollars are the staple of the area’s economy and it may be awhile before they return. The paper’s editorial board is also happy to see work progressing on the Wekiva Parkway. In the Tribune we learn more about the reality of the required 30 minutes of exercise daily for students, and the paper’s editorial board has some comments for John McCain
