Good morning!

We’re determined to get the newsletter out early today – hoping to catch some of you in a generous mood. Already, so many have given and we thank you! For those of you who have not, consider doing so today. We depend on our readers to support the coverage that you get every day from Mission Local.

Today we have a community letter on tagging and the elderly from a longtime contributor, George Lipp. It seems to have struck a chord with a lot of readers.

And we have another piece on impending problems at the jails from Joe, who always has something interesting to say.

We hope that you got to read last week’s piece by Yujie on Twitter’s troubles and to explore Will’s interactive on how we all voted. You can compare your vote to others in your precinct, the neighborhood and the city.

Thank you from all of us!

Joe, Lydia, Annika, Eleni, Will and Yujie
