In the top part of this, they say they are keeping a "substantial" number of the 140 employees. Lower down, it says they will be offered severance packages. Bet they'd like to know which is correct.

Billinaz:OBAMA should not bail the tipy top! He should give us all the way down here about 10,000.00 each. Yes all americans. And the deal is we can not save it and we have to spend it in the USA!!! And what ever about the paper going under. Im sorry to the employees though..

Seems like the obama should be "bailin em" out. Finally, the market speaks. The republic will be next. I think they are hurting too. Can proudly say I haven't bought a paper in years. I get my news on the internet. I am a 21st century man.

A true waste of paper for all newspapers anyway, when you can read it on the web, I read about 20 different papers now and get a better view than one local paper could or would write anyway .And no inserts to throw away

BillinArizona....lol...I had the very same problem when I lived in Peoria for a couple of years, thats all I could take of it and left, went right back to my old neighborhood stomping grounds. Who cares about the Tribune anyway its just a sick rag, my sympathies to the reporters and staff that are no longer employed, I do hope they find work soon. However, I read on line that network news is doing the very same thing and all of them are laying off thousands of reporters, writers, staff, etc. OMG! Whats next, no liberal leftist propaganda anymore??? I was forced to agree with Rush Limbaugh because of these facists, it just so happen he is right on target, but why now?

THAT'S WHAT YOU GET FOR PICKING ON OUR HERO JOE. SO LONG SUCKERS

My heart just aches thinking we'll not read anymore rag from that lowlife liberal front.

Good riddance.

I wish the free newspaper in Peoria would go under. They always leave it in my driveway. I am so sick and tired of picking it up and dropping it right into the recycle trash. Just leave it at the grocery store. I will pick it up if i ever want it. I get my news on the internet. I am a 21st century man.
