My name is Tom Sofield, and I am the publisher of three online-only local news publications in Bucks County: LevittownNow.com, NewtownPANow.com, and NewHopeFreePress.com. For generations, the requirement that public notices be published only in print newspapers made sense. We will offer more competitive prices, and our public notices would reach more local residents for a lower cost to taxpayers. This approach avoids the less ideal scenario of having public notices relegated to government websites, which I believe would lead to a loss of public oversight. By embracing a modern, competitive system, we can ensure public notices reach the largest possible audience at the lowest possible cost to taxpayers.
