LouisianaVoice October fundraiser heads into final week

LouisianaVoice heads into its final week of our October fundraiser and you may have noticed I haven’t badgered you as much this time. Postings in which I shamelessly begged for money have been sporadic for two reasons: (1) I abhor coming to my readers with my hand out. I rejected advice from a wise lobbyist years ago to make LouisianaVoice a paid subscription blog because I wanted everyone to have unfettered access to what I cover. (2) We’ve actually almost reached our goal for this cycle.

Almost.

Truth is, our readers have been more than generous and we appreciate that more than we could ever adequately express. But we do still have expenses and we like to have funds to cover them. Gasoline is higher now and the cost is rising. I am involved as a plaintiff in a couple of litigation cases over public records (which I expect to win either at the state court level or on appeal). That costs money and the document copies I have requested from every parish for a story I’m working on are going to cost a bundle. Thanks to you, we’re covered. For now.

But like there’s never too much pitching on a baseball team, there’s never quite enough money, it seems. I know that’s true in most of your own cases, as well. But if you can (and ONLY if you can comfortably), please help us by clicking on the yellow DONATE button in the column to the right of this post and give by credit card or mail a check to Capital News Service, P.O. Box 922, Denham Springs, Louisiana 70727.

As always, thank you for your loyal support these past 11-plus years.
