Where is the Sun’s story?

by at 7:00 am.

On Tuesday, those of you who read the Sun on line saw a story on their “breaking news” that a new political action committee, Move Lowell Forward PAC was formed. (The breaking news story has been “archived” and is no longer avaiable).

Both Lynne and Cliff at Right-Side-of-Lowell blogged on the story that appeared in the Sun and as officers of this new PAC went on to explain the purpose of this non-partisan group of local activists that whose goals are:

• Professionalism in city government;
• Economic growth for local jobs and stabilizing the tax rate
• A strong educational system
• Safe and clean neighborhoods
• A better quality of life and effective public services
• Respect for, and adherence to, our Plan E city charter

As with all Sun “breaking news stories” this article carried the closing sentence “For more on this story read tomorrow’s Sun.” Well, there was nothing in yesterday’s Sun or today.

I do know for a fact that a story was written because Cliff, Lynne as well as Jack Mitchell , another member of the PAC was interviewed by Sun reporter Jennifer Myers. So, where is the story? Yes, I am paranoid.

    You didn’t hear Mimi? The sun pulled the story out of fear that it would confuse readers with their own political action committee called “Move Lowell Backwards.”

    I also did not find the story in my home-delivered copy of the Sun yesterday. However, my wife told me that a copy she read at work did have the story and it quoted me! Looks like some editions had it and some didn’t. I do expect there will be more stories re: the PAC however as Jack, Cliff, Lynne and myself had breakfast yesterday with Kendall Wallace. Would be really interesting to hear an “official” explanation why it wasn’t in all editions but I won’t hold my breath!

    For the record, I caught the story in the actual paper, which I get for a quarter on the commuter rail. 6:45 am edition.

  4. Lynne Says:

    This is what comes of not getting the dead-tree version I suppose. :)

  5. Right In Lowell Says:

    It was in the paper delivered this morning. Great news… good luck! Looking forward to getting involved.
