You deserve quick writing that results in timely news. Even in a small town like Jordan. In this age of immediacy, you ought to have immediacy in your news about Jordan.

And so you shall.

Right now, I'm working on coverage of the Jordan City Council's meeting, which ended just before 9 p.m. I rushed back here tonight, and before I leave the office, you will be reading about potential pool projects, bike trails, liquor license fee increases, the hiring of a police officer, newly appointed park and recreation commission members, vehicles for the fire department, and -- everyone's favorite -- preliminary plats and rezoning ordinances.

I'm joking about "everyone's favorite," but the truth is that this is important stuff. You missed an important meeting tonight, and you need to read about it.

That's why the light in the JI office is always on late into the night every other Monday. For you.

By the way, I will write some government stories that not everyone can see. For complete city council coverage, join the online group called Government Observers. Click the Groups button and then Government Observers.
