" Wow another meth arrest! Aren't there not more critical issues that could be reported on, other than every addict getting caught with their stash?

An outsider reading the Napa Register would think that this town is full of domestic violence, meth users and drunk drivers.

A little more positive reporting on the front page is in order.

Just look at today's NVR online local news headlines:

Sheriff tasers man, Vehicle burglaries, Lewd conduct, Meth arrest, Broke Jaw, Stolen car, Stolen Id, 2 arrests, Dui Report and Most Wanted.

10/13 topics involve crime. We are not in Watts!!!

Stop reporting as if Napa is some crime infested hole, it's bad form in general. Air the dirty laundry on the back page. "
