CM FEEDBACK. Reader asks why no Jeff Young story

Reader wants to know if there is a reason why story not yet posted
I look at your magazine every day to get the daily news. Today I heard on the radio this morning that Jeff Young had been indicted by grand jury. I went to your site to read the full story but, there wasn't one. So I waited until this afternoon and checked again. Still no story. Is there a reason that there isn't a story on your web page about this?

CMag Answer: The story is an important one which was carried in state news, on the radio, and in the Adair Progress. It ranked higher than the priority we gave it, though it is on our list. In the meantime, here's an outside link to WKYT's coverage of the story: Click Here.
