Issue: September 11, 2014
Good morning, readers!
How much do you know about net neutrality? Did you know it's in jeopardy?
What that means is the possibility of slower network speeds for companies
that can't pay the tolls. And that, my friends, could spell the end of the
Internet as we know it. Check out this week's feature story for more on
this and how it affects all of us.
In other news: Staff writer Ken Smith dives into Butte College's football
program and just what adding an accused rapist to the roster means for the
camps; Assistant News Editor Howard Hardee talks to a family member of the
man killed outside 7-Eleven and tells his story; News Editor Tom Gascoyne
looks into the proposed military banners; and much, much more.
Until next week, read on!
