Four thousand pounds declined, and the offer named
The offer
Four thousand pounds a year for a logo in the footer and no editorial involvement. A fair offer, honestly made, and about a third of the annual income.
Why not
Because they are an active applicant in three planning cases I am likely to write about. That would compromise the work whether or not it changed it.
What it means
The income gap stays. If reader support does not cover it I will say so rather than quietly accepting a similar offer later.
