Greggory Moore writes at LBPost.com that he was the first and last copy editor at The District Weekly, and was steadily involved as a contributing writer for the last two years. "I am one of several now-former employees owed a substantial amount of money...and I am frustrated and sad and angry and hurt," he writes. The paper in Long Beach closed down last week.
