Wendy McCaw wants you to pay
COMMENT: If you want to read Wendy McCaw's Santa Barbara News-Press side of the biggest news in Santa Barbara you can go to www.newspress.com and pay the price. The global radio personality and columnist "dr" laura Schlessinger, self proclaimed "moral advice" and "family values" has written her take on McCaw, unions, workers and protests in her columns. Especially January 7, 2007. Don't be discouraged if the column list only goes to December 31, 2006. The paper is understaffed and a train wreck happening in the opinion of many. ....................................llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll.................................

Scott Steepleton Takes the Stand Tuesday Morning
Despite the level of anticipation gripping Santa Barbarans over the fate of their longtime daily newspaper, the courtroom pews were only halfway filled on Tuesday at 9 a.m. in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court on State Street. That's when the Judge William L. Schmidt, as the eyes and ears of the National Labor Relations Board, began hearing objections from News-Press management over the newsroom's 33-6 September 27 vote in favor of joining the Graphic Communications Conference of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters.
One the left side of the room seated before the judge was David Millstein and Sandra McCandless, who played the lead attorney role in this proceeding. Next to them was Scott Steepleton, the white-haired, stout N-P editor dressed in crisp white shirt and purple-pink tie who took the witness stand first.
