Lousy news. Via WoMag:
Richard Nangle, he of the recent court testimony in the Larry Cirignano case, has left the Telegram, and is moving onto the state Department of Social Services.
First Milton Valencia left for the Globe, and now RN’s gone . . . this leaves very few people on the Telegram & Gazette staff I trust to do a thorough, accurate job of reporting local stories.

Below: Maybe it’s too goofy a picture for a sad event, but I prefer to remember the good times. Richard Nangle reports on Mr. Hetero.
Hi Mike,
Thank you for the kind words. They made me an offer I couldn’t refuse. It’s extremely difficult to walk away from a reporting job of this caliber. I had many sleepless nights trying to decide whether to stay or go and I will miss all of the high quality people I came in contact with over the years. But the paper is changing and it was time for me to move on. I think you’re going to see some more departures from the T&G in the coming months.
I will continue to read this excellent blog for the real news about Worcester – a great community that in so many ways deserves better.
