As the June 3 election winds down, our mailboxes are being blasted with campaign brochures from the candidates trying to get our attention -- and our votes. My column this week is a guide to interpreting all that the material you are getting from the candidates. Click here to read the column.
We are only 15 days from the election, so the campaigning will get intense, especially for Fresno mayor, which has 11 candidates, and the Fresno County Board of Supervsisors, which has competitive races in Districts 2 and 5. Most of the candidates have been stockpiling their money to get maximum exposure in the last two weeks of the campaign. That means you will get even more stuff sent your way in the next several days. Be prepared by reading this column.
As usual, the campaign mailers will go directly where they belong. In the recycle container. I get enough junk mail without having to look at the campaign junk too.
