Unsubstantiated Allegations Will Not Be Published
From time to time we receive a post that makes unsubstantiated allegations. We have chosen not to publish them for a number of reasons.
Allegations are unsubstantiated and unproven
Allegations are not opinions about known activities
Allegations are not questions about known activities but put forward as fact
The posts are usually filed anonymously, which leaves the accused with no recourse
This blog does not and will not investigate allegations to determine if they are based on fact. This is simply a communications channel to facilitate community dialogue. It is not an investigative facility -- we leave that to the news media.
If these allegations were documented (i.e. viewed on video, previously reported by the paper, documents supplied, etc.) and filed by a person willing to accept responsibility for making the allegations we would publish the comments. Until such time, allegations will be rejected.

Mission Statement
The AURORA CITIZEN has been created to give all citizens of Aurora the opportunity to share their news & views about life in our town.
It is intended to stimulate and facilitate a community-based conversation about what you like, don't like and would like to see changed for the better.
