Republic article says ASU headed for Lake Havasu

Nary a mention of Payson in front page story

A front page article in the Thursday, March 18 edition of The Arizona Republic reports that "Arizona State University is looking at Lake Havasu City as a possible site to offer lower-cost bachelor's degrees beginning in fall 2011."

The article further explains that a memo of understanding will be submitted to the Lake Havasu City Council on Tuesday, hopefully leading to the site becoming part of a network of lower-priced colleges.

According to Pete Aleshire gushing in the Payson Roundup, Payson Mayor Kenny Evans has all but locked up a similar deal with ASU.  But Payson continues to be conspicuous by its absence in Republic articles mentioning several rural towns as possible sites.  Evans has claimed that he is working behind the scenes and through mysterious channels to which Lake Havasu City officials apparently do not have access.

Gee, is the Roundup accusing the Republic of BIASED REPORTING?

And they're complaining about it?

Pot calling the kettle black, if you ask me.
