Check it out at patreon/MaconMedia Even a dollar a month would be very helpful. More helpful than a $50 check because it would give me a budget to operate from...and would give you access to material at patreon that no one else sees as I talk about what I want to do with my coverage of local weather, public safety, local government meetings and civic events and streaming live events over the internet. Also, if you own a business, there will be advertising opportunities coming soon, of a daily and long term nature, as well as unique opportunities to advertise during live events.
