Smart comments aside, the new Grove City Manager should be able to communicate with parties, who have different views on how Grove should move forward and grow. This person should be able to choose what is best for the betterment of Grove, and not the wishes of a precious few. That is what this city needs.
From what I understood, this news source was supposed to be an alternate to the Grove Sun. The more I read it, I don't really see a difference between the both of them. You own it, do what you want, but you have no credibility with me.
We agree with your first comment; we don't agree with your second.
Obviously you have never spent time working at a newspaper; it is next to impossible to please everyone. There is a difference; employees at the other paper get paid, I do not.

I applaud your efforts in putting out this paper with no compensation. I apologize. I may have chosen too strong of words, in regards to your credibility. I was very excited, when I first heard the Grove Observer was going to be an alternative to the Grove Sun. I absolutely know that the Grove Sun is totally biased in their reporting and what they "choose" to report on. I only want to have a paper that will tell "all" sides to a story and report on "all" news worthy items. I know the Grove Sun won't report on anything that makes their "friends" look bad. I admit I have read more fair news in your paper than what I read in the "Grove Fraud (Sun)".
Just to make it clear, I am not with the people that want to change the Grove city government. I just am a citizen who wants all this petty bickering, between the different groups, to end and to have everyone work towards making Grove the success it can and will be.
Again, I apologize for my previous comments, and no, I have never spent time working in a newspaper. Delivered many papers, in my youth, if that counts.
