I founded LkldNow in 2015 with a vision to create a local news organization that serves the public and fosters community connections. What started as a one-man volunteer operation has slowly grown into a small but mighty newsroom and a primary source for local news. But LkldNow can continue only if you find value in our work and help support it. Every gift helps — especially right now! Thanks to our matching funds from local partners as well as the national NewsMatch program, every donation made between now and the end of the year will be doubled!
If you can, please help us sustain independent local journalism in Lakeland. Thank you!
Sincerely,
Barry Friedman
Give city commissioners the same annual pay raise as other city employees. That’s the recommendation of a committee reviewing Lakeland’s city charter. Their goal: Avoid the rare — but sometimes huge — raises the commission votes for itself.
