This could be one of the last issues of the Carter County Times you get to hold in your hands. House Bill 368, a measure that would strip newspapers of their public notice advertising from local governments, could be voted on as early as today.

If House Bill 368 passes, we will no longer be able to afford to keep this paper in business.

State Representative Patrick Flannery has voted in favor of HB 368, which could kill our newspaper.
We need the Senate to stop this. Please contact Senator Robin L. Webb (KY) and ask her to continue her history of supporting our small, independent presses by opposing this bill when it comes before her chamber.
Thank you, Senator! We're counting on you and your colleagues to keep us afloat.

Today I learned that Microsoft hates the idea of its customers repairing hardware so much, they tied the disc drives to the motherboards in their Xbox360s.
