<strong>Patrick Lee</strong>
Regional Editor
Northeast Los Angeles/San Gabriel Valley
<strong>Bio:</strong> I am Regional Editor for Patch, overseeing three Northeast Los Angeles and eight San Gabriel Valley Patch sites. I went to school at Occidental College in Eagle Rock and love the San Gabriel Valley! I worked for 14 years as a reporter and editor with such daily newspapers as the Los Angeles Times, L.A. Daily News, L.A. Herald-Examiner and Milwaukee Journal. I also helped start up and run an entertainment news and information site for Syfy Channel for 10 years. I live in Pasadena with my lovely and talented wife, Maria, and our Boston terrier, Lucy. I'd love to hear from you: patrickl (a) patch.com
<strong>My Beliefs</strong>
At Patch, we promise always to report the facts as objectively as possible and otherwise adhere to the principles of good journalism. However, we also acknowledge that true impartiality is impossible because human beings have beliefs. So in the spirit of simple honesty, our policy is to encourage our editors to reveal their beliefs to the extent they feel comfortable. This disclosure is not a license for us to inject our beliefs into stories or to dictate coverage according to them. In fact, the intent is the opposite: We hope that the knowledge that our beliefs are on the record will cause us to be ever mindful to write, report and edit in a fair, balanced way. And if you ever see evidence that we failed in this mission, please let us know.
<strong>Politics</strong>
<strong>How would you describe your political beliefs?</strong>
I am a moderate liberal with a strong belief in fairness and equity in public policy, reasonable government regulation and a strong, free press. I am also a strong believer in the strength, creativity and efficiency of the free-market economy.
<strong>Are you registered with a certain party?</strong>
I am a lifelong Democrat.
<strong>Religion</strong>
I do not consider myself a religious person. But I strongly believe in the right of all people to worship as they see fit, as long as religious freedom does not impinge on the rights of others.
<strong>Local Hot-Button Issues</strong>
<strong>What do you think are the most important issues facing the community?</strong>
<strong>Where do you stand on each of these issues?</strong>
I believe that the key issues in our communities are responsible government, strong schools, reasonable development, crime prevention and mitigation, preservation of neighborhoods and economic opportunity. I am in favor of public policies that encourage all.
