Dear Editor,
In the Reader’s April 12 issue, contributor David Phillips responded to the Festival’s unfortunate decision to do away with the “number line” system.
David really hit the nail on the head with a well-reasoned and articulate column. I am in total agreement and decry the fact that the Festival is becoming too expensive for many in the local population. I am not cognizant of the Festival’s fiscal problems and goals, nor do I offer a solution. I am sure they are competent and working industriously. Nevertheless, such feedback from locals is hoped to be useful.

While we have you ...
... if you appreciate that access to the news, opinion, humor, entertainment and cultural reporting in the Sandpoint Reader is freely available in our print newspaper as well as here on our website, we have a favor to ask. The Reader is locally owned and free of the large corporate, big-money influence that affects so much of the media today. We're supported entirely by our valued advertisers and readers. We're committed to continued free access to our paper and our website here with NO PAYWALL - period. But of course, it does cost money to produce the Reader. If you're a reader who appreciates the value of an independent, local news source, we hope you'll consider a voluntary contribution. You can help support the Reader for as little as $1.
