In Reply To: But I actually find myself agreeing with 3-10-13 on this one. Jim is a great guy and a solid news leader who deserved a raise instead of a pink slip. The nicest most affable ND I've ever worked with, and I've worked with a lot of them. He kept that place together with spit and bailing wire for years, and managed to turn out some great numbers, on a budget most mid 50's would laugh at. Also knows the fundamentals of storytelling, and communitcates them effectively. Sorry if you're toes got stepped on exacto, the only people I ever saw JL go after were blatantly incompetent, and he gave them more chances than they deserved. You have a right to your opinion, but Jim's cheering section far outweighs his few detractors.
Message: I worked with Jim a looooooong time ago when he was a reporter in Tucson. He was a great guy then and I am sure his fans would agree he still is. Enjoy the beach Jim...cause you won't be there long.
