new reporter covering West Chester

Today is my last day working for the Daily Local News, and I'll be preparing to embark on my graduate school studies after today.

I'm happy to announce that the borough beat will not be left in limbo. Anne Pickering will be covering West Chester, at least until someone is hired to fill my spot. Anne is a great reporter and has been at the Local for about three years. She has covered multiple municipalities and several environmental issues. I'm sure she'll do a fine job on the beat. She'll be sitting in Council Chambers next week for the Borough Council meetings, and please say hello and welcome her.
