I want to tell you THANK YOU for the coverage of the candidates. I have been quite lax in getting involved but wanted to read as much as possible before I voted today…and I knew where to turn. Thank you for all the comprehensive coverage you’ve provided throughout the process and, especially right now, for the candidate profiles. You and your staff have succeeded in keeping opinion out of the profiles, but letting us know what the candidates thought about issues residents care about.
