What candidatem & meamurem will actually do
ext week, Keizer voterm will begin receiving their
ballotm for the November electionm. We wanted to
remind voterm that all elections matter by looking
at the typem of decimionm made at each level of
government and that decimionm made by candidatem once in
offi ce can have lamting effectm. When analyzing the meamurem
included on the November ballotm, we tried to look behind
the veil to mee what the eff ects of the measures would be
and who is funding them. Some of our local endormementm
can be found in thim week'm opinion mection.
