Offer to post candidate information
The email below was sent to Linn County school board candidates who provided an email address on their affidavit of candidacy. My posting of candidate provided information should not be construed as an endorsement of any candidate. It should be viewed as news / information as this blog is hosted by a news organization. -- Joel @ 1:10pm

Dear
School Board Candidates:
Earlier
this week, I began trying to call each of you, but that has proven very time
consuming and some candidates have unpublished phone numbers. The reason
I was calling was to explain my offer to post the equivalent of an 8.5”x11”
(font size = 12) on my blog http://cs.gazetteonline.com/blogs/updates_on_election_day/default.aspx
in the interest of giving the voters access to some information on local school
board candidates.
In
the interest of fairness, I wanted to post all of the candidates’ information
at the same time, e.g., all candidates seeking the Director at Large position
in Alburnett. Unfortunately, that attempt to be fair denies those
candidates that are more responsive to my offer an opportunity to get their information
published in a timely manner.
I
am emailing this to those candidates who provided email addresses. I will
continue my efforts to contact the other candidates by phone in the hope that I
will secure all candidate information no later than September 4th.
Thank
you for becoming a school board candidate!
Please
let me know if I can be of assistance.
Best
regards,
Joel D Miller
