Issue: April 09, 2015
Good morning, readers!
Everyone enjoy the rain this week? We sure need it. I even got to write
a news story about the drought this week to put it all in perspective!
In our feature story this week, we shine a light on stockholders and the
power they can wield over big corporations like Walmart and Nike.
In other news: Ken Smith takes a little road trip to Orland to see
what's cooking with the Arts Commission there (hint: it's thriving);
Howard Hardee checks in with Measure A; Arts Devo takes part in the
Chico Breaks the Record event at the Tackle Box; and I introduce readers
to the man who spiffed up the joint with cool new wooden decor.
There's more, for sure, so browse away.
Until next time,
Meredith J. Cooper, associate editor
