David Lilienthal praises dispersed centers of power and nongovernmental groups as citizens gain veto power, advocating community level planning over national schemes.
The Banner says goodbye to John Leaning and Judson Brown as they depart for new opportunities. Leaning, six years of steady, unbiased reporting and landscape photos on farm pages, will be replaced by Rob Woolmington.
