I enjoyed your comments on the negotiations of the JSO Board and the Musicians. I certainly hope that you will make this information available to our local papers the Times-Union and Folio plus the local news stations.

I believe the whole Jacksonville community would benefit from and understanding of the process you used in resolving this dispute. It is a model of how problems should be solved in many situations we face every day, including in our business and personal dealings, city government, law enforcement and our school system.

Thank you,

Sincerely,

Melissa Weihnacht

PS I wish you had a print function so that I could print this in an environmentally sensitive manner (eg. no wasted or colored inks.)

Thank you for the suggestion about printing without color, I will look into whether or not TypePad offers something like that. In the meantime, you should be able to set your print defaults to blank and white or grayscale only as well as leaving out images (background or foreground). I bet a reader out there has some useful links folks like Melissa can use that provide step-by-step instructions for a variety of operating systems and printers, hopefully one will write in with the information. ~ Drew McManus
