(Okay, the 6 day thing isn't entirely true — we're happy to accept your generous support at any time of year.) But it's especially important this week as our annual Spring Member Drive enters the homestretch. So, Crosscut members, please consider renewing. And if you are not a Crosscut member, spring's the time to take the plunge.
You may not know this, but your support of Crosscut has made a real difference in our community. One example: a few months back, we wrote about the Seattle Police Department exceeding its overtime budget by $7 million. (Boy, what we couldn't do with $7 million.) After our story broke, Police Chief Kathleen O’Toole decided to expand her review of overtime spending to the entire police department.
Supporting local investigative journalism can make stuff happen. When you become a member of Crosscut, you’re not only staying informed, you’re keeping other people in the loop too — and you’re investing in news that makes a difference.
Can we count on you to make a gift today? (About that photo: It's an hourglass tree frog to inspire you. I know it has nothing to do with fundraising but it came up when I searched Flickr for an hourglass image to use with this post and I thought it was cool.)
