Miriam Pensack: Argue with facts
It was bright fall afternoon. Strolling toward my Jeep in the high school parking lot, I noticed from yards away an unfamiliar addition to the back of my car.

Melissa VanArsdale: Pay it forward
Let's pay it forward this election day by voting "yes" on 2A and 2B, thus keeping the half-cent sales tax to support education. The Education Fund has been in existence since 1993 with the first passing of the half-cent sales tax. And since then, voters have renewed the tax two times in support of public education. I'm well aware that our economic times are tough. And as a result, many of us are more frugal with our money. But there is no need to nickel-and-dime a vote against 2A and 2B.
Rob, Darcy, Peyton and Trent Trask: Approve sales tax
Please vote "yes" on 2A and 2B to renew the half-cent sales tax for education. Please continue to make this important investment in our students, our community and our future.
