No longer editor; future of this blog…
Effective Monday, June 8, I am no longer editor of the Elk Grove Citizen
I was laid off by Publisher David Herburger in what has turned out to be a continuing series of cutbacks at the Citizen and also Herburger Publications, Inc.
I will be wrapping up loose ends this week, and ceasing all new news work on this blog. I will be maintaining the blog as an archival reference only. The temporary editor to the best of my knowledge is Citizen veteran Cameron Macdonald. Please direct all inquiries about the newspaper to Cameron. His e-mail address is listed on left in Contacts area.
I have had a great time working in Elk Grove and at the Citizen. Along the way I’ve met some great people, learned a lot of valuable lessons, and covered some awesome stories.
Take care and thanks for being a part of the news.

Jeff Forward
Former Editor, the Citizen, 2003-2009
