<b>Your Beliefs</b><br>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 because human beings have beliefs. So in the spirit of simple honesty, our policy is to encourage our editors to reveal their beliefs to the extent they feel comfortable. This disclosure is not a license for you to inject your beliefs into stories or to dictate coverage according to them. In fact, the intent is the opposite: we hope that the knowledge that your beliefs are on the record will cause you to be ever mindful to write, report and edit in a fair, balanced way. And if you ever see evidence that we failed in this mission, please let us know.
<b>Politics </b><br>How would you describe your political beliefs?
Cynical, but wish I wasn't.
Are you registered with a certain party?
I am a registered "decline to state" and generally vote for losing candidates. <br><br><b>Religion</b><br>How religious would you consider yourself? (casual, observant, devout, non religious)
Lutheran. But it's been a while.
<b>Local Hot-Button Issues</b><br>What do you think are the most important issues facing the community?
Where do you stand on each of these issues?
The Airport Settlement Agreement; group homes located in residential areas; balancing development with preservation of the environment; at what times can dogs be walked on the beach; and City Hall.
I like to keep an open mind.
