Signing off
For those who didn't know, this will be last post on SBNOW, the blog that I launched and that you, the readers, have helped Andrew and I nourish into a 2,000+ readers daily online news source.
I have submitted my resignation and will be leaving The Sun. I plan on attending graduate school.
Writing local stories and providing you all with information has been the best time of life.
I am especially proud of my last posts, the ones that have provided a more human look at the real anguish of urban violence and have called out other media for too often just writing "another gangmember dead" -type stories.
This will be last post. Thank you all for reading, writing and searching for the truth in order to make a better community.

Well that just bites! You are the only reporter who has taken City Hall to task and demanded answers!
I'm sad! Thanks for all the great reporting! We will miss you!

Robert,
Thank You for all you have done for the city of SB.
Can you please check in from time to time and let us know how you are doing?
This blog has been so successful due to your honesty and your ability to un-cover the truth.
You will be missed...and Thank You again!
Mr. Rogers,
You will be missed. You did some really great work over the years and exposed the truth time and time again.
Best of luck to you in your future.
Good luck in your new venture. The blog you initiated made it possible to post views that counter the mass media attacks on good people. Thank you for giving Joe Citizen a voice. Please read...
An American war hero who endured the barbaric, cruel, inhumane and relentless torture of the North Vietnamese Army captors is being treated no better by the American major news media of all types. The ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, MSNBC TV and radio media, the majority of newspapers, including the San Bernardino The Sun, and supermarket type sensationalist yellow rag magazines all join in a savage and relentless campaign of attacking John McCain and his Vice-Presidential running mate, Sarah Palin.
Sarah Palin is the American dream Mom. She embodies the values of good family Moms. She is also the heroine for many hard working, high values women in this Presidential race. Her family embraces all the things that the American family lives for in our everyday lives. She is the daughter, Mom, and wife that anyone would be proud to call theirs. She is attacked by those of her own gender when she should be celebrated by them. The unethical influence peddling of the Oprah types attempt to have women believe that Joe Biden is a better way for their feminine groups.
It's a shame to see you go: you have been a voice in the wilderness of boosterism that infects so much of what passes for "journalism" here...
...No matter! You mignt not be able to carry on at The Sun, but there are other outlets where the story of our "City of the (depressed, distressed) Future" can be, and will be told...
So: best of luck in your efforts, and thanks for shining a light of truth through our smog of disinformation...
I miss you.
