Have you ever noticed that only local papers hate land developers and homebuilders? It would make sense considering that the only people really affected are those buying the homes and having said homes built next to them.
Once again, in this article, you see that Georgia Leonhart has the story. Of course, as is the work on the “local beat,” this may have been a departure on the work she’s done in the past.
Point is, I’ve heard it from a reliable source that when they called K Hovnanian Homes to ask for comments, The Cape Gazette called only 2 hours before the article went to print. I guess that’s the caliber of reporting you get with your local papers.
Here’s what I want to know, what do you think about your local papers?

I find that the Cape Gazette is very selective in what it publishes. It only seems to cater to Sussex County's "good ol' boys" if you know what I mean. All it takes is some local yahoo to bitch about something that is changing the community for the good and turn it into something sour. As far as Georgia is concerned I think she is one sided when it comes to the bad publicity on local developers. But who can blame her, she lives in Sussex County and works for a small newspaper firm. Without the support from the locals she would probably be out of a job!
Cape Gazette should be held responsible for the false accusations that Georgia is making. Did she take a look at the rain gutters of the residents running into the pond? She she ask how many of them use fertilizer? The residents are damaging the pond far more than the developement. Georgia is just another example of bad reporting and trying to push her own agenda to the locals.
