Mahalo for making it free.  In this economy paying for valuable information is a luxury.  I can goolge things or just reach out to PBS Newshour for my information.  As a graduate of the University of Hawai'i's Journalism program I admired Civil Beat for accurate reporting, I just couldn't pay for it.  Now I don't have to.  I will contribute though as often as I can. Mahalo and keep up the objective reporing.
