Blogging for Cornwall
It's now about half a day since this blog went public, so many thanks to those who have read a few entries and even more thanks to those who have commented and emailed.
Part of the inspiration for launching this blog was the "if you can't beat them, join them" response to those already using cyberspace to further discussion and debate about how we are governed in Cornwall. I know I am not the only journalist whose first duty of the day is to scan the blogosphere for stories which have yet to reach the mainstream media.
Particularly good in this regard is a group of Cornwall councillors whose blogs and "tweets" have greatly enriched our knowledge of what goes on at County Hall. In no particular order, but with due regard to political balance, I recommend councillors , , and .
Keep up the good work guys - but don't forget, if you have a really good exclusive, call me first!
I'm ´óÏó´«Ã½ Radio Devon’s Graham Smith, blogging on news, views and some fresh insights into West Country life, particularly the way government works locally and nationally.

"I apologise for the delay in response to your supplementary question at the last Council Meeting. The cost of the Chief Executive and Corporate Director salaries for the forthcoming financial year is £1,288,950 including normal on costs; no pay award is due for 2010/11. "
