I have recently started reading the La Conner Weekly News and am very impressed by the editorial content, local news and letters to the editor. It is too bad the paper is not named the Skagit Valley Weekly, so more people would understand they too can read it. I am guilty of ignoring it for a long time because I thought it was written only for La Conner news.

Your paper is doing the Skagit Valley a real service by publishing “the news” – like the article on the Republican candidate Bill Bruch stealing $1.7 million from unsuspecting elderly customers he once had.

After reading that article I let my fingers do the walking in Google and found the legal papers on the theft. I never would have known this guy Bruch was such a scoundrel had it not been for your paper. You notice that the SVH nor the AA did not print a thing on his theft.

Thank you – thank you!

Keep up the great work!
