The Bellingham Herald is committed to holding people in positions of power accountable. In that spirit, we have launched a reporting effort we’re calling Reality Check. The goal is to cut through spin and jargon to get clear answers on policies and issues of importance to our readers. Have a question you’d like us to put to an elected leader or government agency? Curious about consequences of a new policy? Drop us a line at [email protected]. Please put Reality Check in the subject line.
