But I thought the larger narrative when you read between the lines was the fact that the B news had to call out the fact that he did not have the permit, and that that echoed a long standing reality that Carl has a lot of friends on the inside who will over look things for him, such as having the correct permits and making sure his properties are up to code. The B news will not give Carl a free pass like many others who have been paid off. So the article is actually about corruption. Hmm, as far as the Pal story goes, it did seem kind of out of place.

If it wasn't for the coupons in the Sunday edition,we would no longer subscribe. But the coupons defray the cost of a weekly subscription,so why not read the "funnies" everyday.
