The post racked up one commenter who praised Potomac Local News for our coverage of Stafford County. “Everything is well presented, from action news articles, political news articles, law enforcement news, and community updates for all matters, etc. Stafford news is more current and vivid again with pictures that are ‘easy on the eye,’ so to speak,” Valerie Krain wrote.
I also received an email from a paid member who complimented us on our Stafford County coverage. I really enjoy the PLN – much better coverage of Stafford than the [Free Lance-Star],” wrote Elizabeth Daly.
