Beliefs
At Patch, we promise always to report the facts as objectively as possible and otherwise adhere to the principles of good journalism. However, we also acknowledge that true impartiality is impossible and human beings have beliefs. So in the spirit of simple honesty, our policy is to encourage our editors to reveal certain key beliefs to the extent they feel comfortable.
This disclosure is not a license for our editors to inject these beliefs into stories or to dictate coverage according to them. In fact, the intent is the opposite: we hope that the knowledge that our beliefs are on the record will force us to be ever mindful to write, report, and edit in a fair, balanced way. And if you, the user, ever think you see evidence that we failed in this mission, we wholeheartedly invite you to let us know.
Politics
- How would you describe your political beliefs?
Center-left on about 55-60 percent of national issues, centrist on the rest. Overall, I consider myself a centrist at the state and local level.
Religion
- How religious would you say you are? Casual, observant, devout, non-religious?
Christian but secular.
Local Hot Button Issues
- What do you think are the most important issues facing the community?
Development and zoning, both residential and commercial.
- Where do you stand on each of these issues?
I feel personally that we need to welcome development in the area but also make sure that it doesn't have a negative impact on the quality of life.
