Vicco Media Attention

Because I'm the Attorney for the small city of Vicco; I was tasked with the job of handling all media requests. So far, the interest has been incredible. Below, there is a list of links and stories that was sent to me. This list is not exhaustive and it doesn't include the New York Times who interviewed us for two days. Also keep in mind, some of these links may be niche publications that are interested in a different agenda.
