Maybe you’ve noticed through the last few weeks that the only mention of the district 48 race in any of the local newspapers (be it the St. Petersburg Times’ North Pinellas Times, the Suncoast News or any other community newspaper) has been about endorsements or fundraising. The actual issues facing district 48 and candidates stances on them are passed over.
Suffice it to say, the citizens can right the ship — or perhaps that should be phrased as write?
Letters to the editor are another form of spreading the word about any opinion you might have about issues facing where you live, or issues that mean something to you. It’s important not only to remind the press that they ought to cover the issues, but also to tell them and the public just why you are supporting the candidate you are.
