This is very encouraging. It's great to have young, intelligent, knowledgeable, caring individuals who are willing to take on big challenges. There is always hope.
Couldn't have happened to a nicer young man then William--congratulations! Now, because I'm old, comes a bit of advice: William, as you know, this is a tiny town and to run a truly investigative endeavor you will need to be FEARLESS. We have had a somewhat checkered past when it comes to well meaning NFP-funded investigative platforms (e.g. The SB Source, which in 2012 found its funding from the Knight Foundation). So, while you might never be the most well-liked Santa Barbara resident you have the chance to be someone who can make positive change and--frankly--that is much more important. GOOD LUCK MY FRIEND.
