How about some local news?

Gloucester Township had a fire commissioner's election on Saturday and I'm sure the results would interest all of us who cared enough to go out and vote. Instead we are treated to the top story of a Saturday morning gas station robbery in Maple Shade followed by Friday's school closings, Newark Airport's Saturday cancellations, area foreclosures, beach cam shots of snow at the shore on Saturday as if the local TV News shows didn't already cover this hot news ad nauseam, Around Town news from North Jersey, and on and on and on. And then there's the glitch that puts up the same story from two to fifty times in case you missed it the first forty-nine times. Some enterprising spirit could make a buck by setting up a local news site because Patch is becoming more irrelevant by the day.
