ProPublica is the brainchild of Herbert and Marion Sandler, the former chief executives of the Golden West Financial Corporation, who have committed $10 million a year to the project.

Golden West Financial now there is something fun to read about. I learned up Vanna real nice on the Sandlers.

While ProPublica is largely funded by former banker Herb Sandler, it has also received funding from the Knight Foundation. ProPublica and the Knight Foundation have various connections. For example, Paul Steiger, President of ProPublica, is a trustee of the Knight Foundation.[9] In like manner, Alberto Ibarguen, the President and CEO of the Knight Foundation is on the board of ProPublica.[10] In 2010, it received a two-year contribution of $125,000 each year from George Soros' Open Society Foundations.

I know you like comedy maybe you can watch the Saturday Night Live skit on the Sandlers in between articles published by Propublica.

The fracking frontline: a tale of two Pennsylvanias – video

In what the Pennsylvania governor says will 'level the playing field for gas exploration', a controversial bill has been passed, rendering previous zoning laws void. With the new bill hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, can take place as close as 90 metres (300ft) from residential houses. This film visits Dallas township where the citizens' engagement has kept the gas exploration at bay – for now.
