New Albin, what a great town to call home!

I have refrained from writing about our town's embarrassing financial crisis for several months now, but now that we are well on our way to a happy ending, I think I will link to two LaCrosse Tribune news stories that tell the public side of the tale. As the rest is either scuttlebutt or part of a criminal trial, or both, that's all I will say.

My thanks to staff writer Chris Hubbuch for covering this story both factually and with sensitivity.
