Hook has the real skinny

Being from New York I am a life long cynic and suffer from a terminal degree of sarcasm. It does my heart good to read the real skinny as to what goes on behind the stories we here have to live with every day. The other news media here in town either don't know how or don't want to upset the money cart by exposing the players on issues like the damn dam. [July 28 cover story: "FLAWS"] Keep it up, I love it. Hope springs eternal.
