Our Turn: Donkeys, elephants, monkeys and weasels, are you playing political musical chairs?
Who will you vote for when the music stops? I just wrapped up coverage of the League of Women Voters Douglas County commissioner candidate forum. It took forever. Ten candidates vying for five seats, sharing their views on queries from the public. That’s a lot of information to process, which makes me wonder: How much information do we retain, how many voters are really informed?

Editorial - Ask candidates tough questions
Have you ever wanted to ask someone running for office a question but something stopped you? Maybe you didn’t have the time. Maybe you never had the opportunity. Or maybe you didn’t want to sound “dumb.” For whatever reason, the question went unasked and a chance to become more knowledgeable about the candidates who are asking for your vote was lost. Don’t let that happen this year, especially at the local level.
