Election? What election?
The final edition of the Newton TAB before Tuesday’s hotly contested municipal election arrived on lawns across the city this morning. As far as we can find. it does not include a single word about the election.
- No endorsements
- No articles discussing important issues
- No coverage of recent debates
- No list of who’s on the ballot
- No list of polling places or hours
- Not even a reminder to vote
If you find that disappointing, irresponsible or perhaps a welcome relief please share your concerns with the following decision makers who are listed on the Wicked Local contact us page.
