The city of Anthem has its own magazine

Who knew? As is annoyingly frequent, I can’t find the AZCentral.com version of the story, printed in the Republic today, that details how the city of Anthem has decided to keep publishing the monthly magazine “Freedom Way.”

There was apparently some controversy in the town from residents worried that the magazine costs the community money.

No one, apparently, questioned whether it was appropriate for the town council to be publishing a magazine in the first place.

One councilman, according to the story, tried to get the council to pass a measure banning the magazine from endorsing candidates or taking campaign ads. According to the Republic, “The idea failed to gain support.”

As is also typical at the Republic, the story raised more questions than it answered. Is the magazine endorsing candidates now? How did the thing get started?
