— Kevin Hoover’s police blotter in the Arcata Eye is really one of the best examples of good, local, journalism in existence, and the story of how the Eye came into existence is a model of entrepreneurial excellence. But even Hoover has his critics, as we learn from this story in the Frisco Comical today:
“He makes up little poems and little sarcastic remarks about the common folks, street people and traveling kids who are the most common targets of the Arcata police state,” Wakan said. “Hoover . . . encourages the people of Arcata to laugh off oppression as they go about their middle- to upper-class day.”
The Comical is jealous, of course.
