Reporter Barbara Wood took the second-place prize for in-depth reporting for "Cause for alarm?" and related stories that looked at the Menlo Park Fire Protection District's budget, spending and compensation of employees.
Is this a joke! It appears not to be??
Not a fan of Peter Carpenter, but he wrote it best!

The headline is Cause for Alarm with a question mark.
Your Fire District is one of the best in the Nation, its firefighters have more actual firefighting and disaster response experience than any other comparably sized agency, has superb response times, pays all of its current year expenses including pension costs and building and apparatus replacement costs out of its current years tax revenues, has no parcel tax, has no customer complaints and has a balanced budget.
Cause for Alarm? No.
Cause for Appreciation? Yes
How long will this stay up until the Almanac takes it down.
