Got Tips?

Help me find out what's happening in your local government.

You go to the meetings, read the notes from school and pay the tax bill. If something caught your eye, I'd like to hear about it.

Send a tip

Email me

Tell me the place, what happened and when. A link or photo helps.

How these buttons work: each one just opens your own email app with a short note started for you. This website doesn't collect or save anything. You can change or delete anything before you hit send.

Your privacyDraft

Draft wording for Scott to review. Not a legal promise.

  • •You don't have to give your name to send a tip.
  • •Only share what you're comfortable sharing.
  • •Email isn't secret. It can be seen, saved or forwarded along the way, so please don't send anything you aren't allowed to share.
  • •I check a tip before I use it. A tip by itself is never the whole story.
