Downturn Scorecard
Winners: mainstream media, government, including politicians from both political parties, unions, financial institutions or any large corporation claiming they need help. Losers: the rest of us.

I just wanted you to know that your Feb. 9 Insider column on too much negativity and the need for success stories was an inspiration to us. I’ve launched “The Brighter Side,” which comes out every other Friday with nothing but good news stories within our industry. Thanks for keeping our hopes up with a tough year ahead.

Good article in the Feb. 9 Business Journal. I agree. There’s too much negativity during these troubling times. Place more emphasis on highlighting businesses and organizations in Orange County that are doing well. All the best to you and thanks.
