I am very proud of the excellent service our staff writers have provided our community - for the breadth, clarity, accuracy and fairness in their reporting over the years.
In the past week, due to my oversight, however, we committed a grave error.
In our coverage of the Sherco-Xcel health effects and ‘external cost’ issue, a great share of the story was taken from an earlier St. Cloud Times story, without attribution to the Times.
This was professionally irresponsible, and I take responsibility for it.
