Carl is doing a fundraiser over at the Proviso Probe so throw him $20 if you can. He’s done a good job over there and actually had someone sue him instead of just threaten. I can never get anyone to file against me. Carl has also been nominated for the first State and Local Blog Koufax Award–consider helping him out there, though I have to admit I’d vote for Off the Kuff by Charles Kuffner out of Houston. He’s one of the first state bloggers and does a great job.
Carl does well exactly what blogs can do–bring stories out of the dark and shine a lot of light on them. Better yet he does it locally where few news organizations can pay enough attention to stay on top of stories. It is where blogs will be able to make the greatest impact over time and he’s ahead of the curve.
