This is reminder that starting Feb. 1 it will cost people to comment on Lake Tahoe News — $10/month or $100/year. For those who subscribed to LTN prior to this policy change there is no change in that annual payment amount.

This change was first announced Jan. 1 and it is posted at the bottom of the About page as well.

Payments may be made online or checks sent to: Lake Tahoe News, PO Box 13406, South Lake Tahoe, CA 96151.

Lake Tahoe News welcomes differing opinions, but not ones that personally attack individuals. Even those who pay will not be allowed to be mean.

We see value in the comments section and want them to continue.

We will continue to bring the news to readers for free seven days a week.
