Dear editor:

The Charlotte News has been doing its job and staying true to its mission—cover the town, warts and all—and some don’t seem to like that. They’d probably love if it went back to being pictures of the lake and puff pieces on Jimmy Charlotte making the cut for Far Post. Or focused on lost dogs and who’s got a bead on the best chimney sweep.

People with power, money and time to spend on lobbying town issues like we have here never like being under scrutiny.

The Charlotte News is telling stories that matter. And that doesn’t always rub small-town big-wigs the right way. So it goes…

To the folks putting in the hard work over there—stay true to the mission and don’t let local cronyism get you down.
