THE SECRET NEWS reflects a better vision for Emeryville, one that addresses the needs and desires of the people who live and work here. It was born out of frustration and some outrage over the direction the city is headed, and the desire for something better. Citizens are demanding better schools, quality housing and jobs, more parks, and neighborhoods safe from excessive traffic, pollution, and noise. We want a city government that is accountable to the people it serves. At a community meeting in Emeryville in June 2008, residents discussed their vision for Emeryville and what community benefits the city should provide. It was decided that a newspaper would be a great way to reinforce that vision, keep people informed and involved, and provide an alternative to the misinformation generated by the City Council and Chamber of Commerce. THE SECRET NEWS aims to provide Emeryville residents with a way to participate in shaping the future of their city.
