Bill and the Subpoena Server: What’s it like to encounter one of the News-Press subpoena servers? My experience was pretty low-key, but former NP Santa Ynez Valley columnist Bill Etling’s was mighty different.

He claims that the server lied, telling him he was working for the reporters, when he was actually working for the News-Press. And that he tried to learn the whereabouts of Bill’s daughter Leah-a former NP reporter who’s now writing for the San Luis Obispo Tribune-so he could hit her with a subpoena.
