History of RSF Post
The RSF Post was originally created in 2014 by local resident Nick Krnich, who was committed to increasing voter turnout in local elections by registering more residents to weigh in on the candidates and issues critically affecting them. Too much power and information were being monopolized by too few people. The RSF Post was instrumental in changing that.
In late 2023, the RSF Post suffered a loss of content and format, and had to be recreated. Rachel Laffer assumed the role as editor again, and assembled a group of members to serve on the Post’s Editorial Board to help guide the content reflecting the Ranch’s wide range of demographics and perspectives.
