I haven't posted much here lately because I've been busy helping a team of students and faculty members dive deep into school spending in Maryland. Here's our project: cnsmaryland.org/contracted-out/

It's simply a joy to work at @MerrillCollege and lead The Local News Network to help students produce projects like the one that launched today: "Child care: Missing in Maryland?" Here's the first of our four stories. cnsmaryland.org/2024/06/25/mar…

Watching what’s happening in DC from afar while on vacation in Europe, and with 35 years of Washington reporting experience and a number of thoughts stirring in my head, I am asking myself: Should I start a Substack?

My editors liked my @jerryzremski.bsky.social posts on the plane crash so much that they wanted to turn it into a story -- so of course, I improved on what I wrote here earlier. The bottom line? Don't rush to conclusions. buffalonews.com/news/local/was…

I'm happy to report that after six weeks of hobbling around and putting no weight on my right foot due to bunion removal surgery, my podiatrist has given me clearance to start walking again, albeit gingerly.

Our latest The Local News Network project-- "Youth Mental Health: What Works?" -- begins its run today with this Sasha Allen story about the state's effort to help troubled young people. Thanks to Solutions Journalism Network for making this project happen. cnsmaryland.org/2025/02/24/mar…

“I am speaking out because I cannot see how employing veterans in the federal government is fraud, waste or abuse," said Alissa Ellman, a laid-off Veterans Affairs employee who is attending Donald J. Trump 's speech Tuesday as the guest of Chuck Schumer: buffalonews.com/news/local/gov…

Are you a student who couldn't continue with your mental health counselor once you moved out of state for school? Or were you unable to continue with a counselor when you left MD and went home? If so, please let me know, as an ن reporter is doing a story on this issue.

I covered John LaFalce for years, and since he left Congress, I had lunch with him on many of my long trips to Buffalo. I hope Stephen T Watson and I gave this good man his due here. buffalonews.com/news/local/gov…
