What is The Point?
Hello and welcome!
At this point, The Point is an op-ed venue that will hopefully grow to include everything from original reporting to bits of scripted silliness.
I’m the former mayor of Lake Elsinore, California, a former newspaper reporter, and a former bartender - only one of those jobs was guaranteed to make people happy. Currently I have a small planning and public/government relations firm and can be reached at planbuckley@gmail.com
