The Bay City News wire service, committed to its longstanding reputation for independent and objective news coverage, is supported by subscribers, not advertisers or sponsors. Its non-profit affiliate, Bay City News Foundation, relies on charitable donations to pursue its public service mission. None of this work would be possible without financial support from donors and we thank the dozens of contributors who have backed this cause.
