Congrats to Lisa Sorg who recently became the newest editor of the Independent Weekly!
I met her by phone shortly after she moved here to work for the Indy about a year ago. She called me to discuss Orange County's district voting proposal. We ended up talking quite a while about many aspects of local politics. She seems really sharp and interested in the important issues. She also won awards as the editor of the weekly San Antonio Current. I look forward to her tenure at the Indy.
Anyone know what Richard Hart is up to now? I missed this brief mention in the N&O that he had resigned last month.

I'm very glad we have the Indy, and I suppose Bloomington has something to be said for it.......
