The immensely talented @npbowlin is taking on a new role outside of HCN and we will miss him greatly. Thank you Nick for your fabulous work, from writing features to editing news and a lot of other important contributions over the years.
On a big news day, some small news. After more than 6 years contributing to High Country News, I'm leaving on July 1. My HCN email will go dark, so: sources, friends, fellow reporters, angry readers, get to me at nickbowlin@gmail.com
Keep reading HCN. It's the best
