     From the Daily Beast on Texas Observer:

     Steven Monacelli, a former special investigative correspondent at the magazine, reported Monday that “Texas Observer editorial staff have offered a counter proposal: Have the board members who voted for closure resign while top editors will work voluntarily and be given the chance to try to raise funds. They’ve also asked for a staffer to be added to the board as a voting member,” adding that the Observer would need to raise about $200,000 to avoid immediate closure.

     Said Solomon, “If the board doesn't take them up on this, I don't know how you can view that decision as anything other than an ego-driven tantrum.”
