Huckleberries Online

Huckleberries Hears …

... that Brand X gave veteran police reporter Dave Turner the boot today, as he returned from his vacation. He's packing his desk as I type this. Dunno why he got the old Brand X heave ho. He was loyal to the company without a fault. He was a decent cop beat reporter before those duties were handed over to Marc Stewart in the last year. He could have used closer editting, as all of us could. Then, that's the editor's problem. Not his. Dave didn't deserve this treatment after 15 years of good service. Then, worker bees are always disposable at Hagadone Newspapers, especially those who have been there too long and inched up a little on the pay scale. F'shame.
