- RoundUp Editor
- The RoundUp was launched in March of 2008 because the newspapers here are, shall we say, a little too deferential to the local elected officials and politicians. They (the papers) are in survival mode. They can't afford to rock the boat. Many of our public officials are getting a free ride off the taxpayers as well as a free ride from the press. What a deal they have! The RoundUp stepped into the gap with hopes of providing a small measure of balance to this lopsided picture. Our aim is to deliver good solid reporting and commentary that you will not find in the local newspapers. Editor Ochoa is an award-winning journalist with 18 years of newspaper reporting experience under his hat and 8 more as a high school journalism and photography teacher. We appreciate all of you readers who follow the RoundUp, and we appreciate all your comments and news tips. Keep 'em coming. Remember to stay tuned, stay alert, stay active, and PASS IT ON! Have a good one. Bob
