What we’re working on: Dec. 23

Here’s our news budget for today online and for tomorrow’s paper.

As you’ll see on the budget, one thing we’ll be working on today is trying to find out more about Brian Robertson, the solar-technology company CEO who died in yesterday’s plane crash.

Thoughts/questions/comments on what we’re doing, or should be doing, are welcomed.
