Your reporters covered a story in my Oak Grove neighborhood about a teenage drinking and driving crash that no one else was covering. That made me realize that local news really is important and this is why I'm supporting you.

Thanks Dano and the Decaturish Team for the work you do covering the issues important to the residents of DeKalb County. I appreciate your coverage of local elections, county and city commission meetings, school board decisions, and the community events that bigger outlets pass over. Your steady, on-the-ground reporting keeps neighbors informed and connected to what's going on around them. Local journalism is critical to community awareness and engagement, and Decaturish continues to earn my support.
