I spend a lot of time during my week sifting through information and deciding what’s important. I talk with a variety of sources. And I keep an active, updated electronic vault with topics and ideas for columns and stories I need to write. But the weekly mailbag always delivers.

I get the best questions.

Ones I often overlook. Ones that often prompt me to reach back out to sources with follow-up questions I hadn’t considered. This week’s mailbag is a real treat for that reason. My readers prompted several follow-up conversations with well-placed sources that resulted in information I wouldn’t have otherwise had.
