PDN Voter Guides for Clallam, Jefferson counties debut today

YOU’LL GET THE chance to vote on whether to end the “supermajority” in school tax levy elections.

Port Angeles voters will consider a School Board race between two candidates who graduated with the same high school class 33 years ago.

Jefferson County voters will choose between two career health-care professionals for a seat on the Jefferson Healthcare hospital board.

Sequim voters will weigh issues relating to the city’s recent growth explosion in deciding three City Council races.

Forks voters will consider a new funding mechanism to reopen the new public swimming pool that closed because of a lack of money.

These attractions are among the races and issues on the Nov. 6 ballot that are in the Peninsula Daily News’ 2007 General Election Voter Guide, which debut with today’s edition of the PDN.

As before, there are separate guides for Clallam and Jefferson counties, appearing in the separate Clallam and Jefferson editions of the Friday/Saturday PDN.

Each guide features candidate profiles and viewpoints as well as pro-con discussions on ballot measures.

The convenient, magazine-style Voter Guides will be available starting this weekend at city halls, public libraries, the courthouse and other public contact points across the North Olympic Peninsula.

The Voter Guide, published without paid advertising as a public service by the PDN, coincides with the distribution of ballots to registered voters in the all-mail election.

Ballots were mailed Wednesday and should be in the hands of registered voters by today.
