Erm, whatever your opinion of some form of entertainment, I don't know
anyone who works at the AMN who also works at the Chronicle. I really
can't see how you made the connection.

To bring things more in the middle, so to speak (and not left vs right),
if it is true that we need more money for EMS and fire services and some
of that money might need to come from the AMN budget, and understanding
that a lot of people in the city enjoy the station, what ways can people
suggest to fund the station alongside some city money?

Kirk Watson just wrote to a friend of mine the other day saying they are
looking for creative ways to fund the AMN.

Any suggestions (and not just "Destroy the AMN") would be helpful.

cheers,
