JAN 20 THOSE WERE THE GOOD OLD DAYS

 NEARLY THIRTY-TWO YEARS AGO…

image004Edition #49 (published on May 7, 1991) of the original printed edition of The Whistleblower (not the Newswire) was delivered to Persons of Consequence all over town.

The Really Big Story was about the Sheriff’s Department’s investigation into allegations that three county building inspectors had cheated on their mileage reports and timesheets.  The Top Ten List was the top ten upcoming “I-Team” in-depth investigative reports, and there an item about the Whistleblower hotline for people wishing to give us more of the news the others seem to lose.
