Issue: October 14, 2010
The Election Issue is upon us
Dying to find out how we're gonna vote? Well, here you have it--endorsements are here. But don't worry, we're not just going to sit here and dictate to our readers how the vote should go. We also include some insight into the more interesting races. So if you want to know what the City Council candidates have in common--and what they don't--we've got it covered. We also take a deeper look at the candidates for school board, governor and U.S. Senate. Unsure about the propositions? We took care of that too.
Don't forget to vote!
We didn't drown ourselves in election stories this week, so you shouldn't have to either. We've got a story by Stacey Kennelly about how several suicides by gay youth around the country are affecting people locally; Nord Country School goes old school when it comes to teaching agriculture; and Arts Devo roots for the Giants.
Until next time,
Meredith J. Cooper, Managing Editor
