Maple Heights African American Gazette - Launch of 6 New Departments

We're going to be introducing 6 new "areas of interest" in the Maple Heights African American Gazette.

We're looking for volunteers to cover our POLICE BEAT (Mayor's court, crime statistics in Maple Heights); FINANCE BEAT (what's happening with our money, how it's being spent, contractors hired, how many African Americans were/are employed or being trained on major city projects, etc); LEGISLATION (what legislation is council considering); CITY COUNCIL BEAT (how is city council performing, accountability, complaints); LAW DEPARTMENT (legal issues, negotiations); SCHOOL BEAT ( What happens to children who graduate from our schools.  Where are they now?).

If you are interested in volunteering to cover one or more of these areas, please contact us at: jadeisnumbr1@live.com

As the employers of those who work in our local department, we also want to see pictures of our Maple Heights heads of departments, and members of city council posted on the Maple Heights City website and this blog.
