LocalScoop.net is designed to fill the gap in communication that exists in local communities. Residents want more and more information about local affairs (general government, elections, zoning, storm water management, fiscal policies, etc.) than the mainstream media has the space or time to devote to full coverage.
What is happening in one's backyard is of extreme importance. More often than not, the quest for additional information is frustrated by this lack of media coverage coupled with Government's desire to keep things hush, hush. What we have found over the years is that often the best source of information is other residents or individuals who encountered a similar situation in a different local.
Therefore, this site is powered by your opinions, observations, and questions via Fire Back postings and/or letters for our Special Reports section. By visiting LocalScoop.net as part of your daily routine, you will gain a better understanding of what is happening in our local communities behind the scene.
