Souza Returns w/Online Newsletter

Item: Mary Souza returns with newsletter/Lucy Dukes, Coeur d'Alene Press

More Info: One of the community's most controversial writers is back in action, but this time Mary Souza is distributing The City's Pulse in a free weekly newsletter instead of writing a column for The Press. "It's simply something that I see as a community service and I'm going to continue because I've already taken the leap, the risk," she said. Souza already has about 200 subscribers for the e-mail newsletter, which she plans to link to a Web page containing a blog, graphic elements and links to documents. The Web site is still under construction. The first newsletter was published Jan. 17. In it, Souza criticizes the Lake City Development Corporation's plan to expand its boundaries to include Sorensen and Winton elementaries, and plans for the education corridor, among other issues.

Question: What do you think of Mary Souza's return to opinion writing?
