Thomas Jefferson once said, "Were it left to me to decide whether we should have a government without newspapers or newspapers without a government, I should not hesitate a moment to prefer the latter."

The editors of City Journal would argue that for a newspaper to be the necessary counterbalance to the powers vested in government, it must be easily accessible, trustworthy, pertinent and free of charge.

Until now, Saint George has been sorely lacking a newspaper that delivers this type of service to the community. Without strong journalistic review, Saint George becomes vulnerable to those in its service who may wish to take advantage or poorly perform their responsibilities.

As a service to our fellow residents, we will begin our reporting September, 2010. See you then.
