In the past, you’ve always turned down offers of donations, for good reasons. Is this workable as an end run around the fact that the SD is owned? Would this be a pathway to make the SD independent of the Sun-Times or whoever controls it to make it less vulnerable to sudden closure? Is the idea to just make enough money to keep the site running or to provide an income?
The concept is intriguing, but the details are fuzzy. I’m afraid you’re going to have to throw out some numbers and what the end goal would be.
But on the bright side, we have many members who boast about how rich they are. Get them to lift their sofa cushions and you’ll be all set!
