A message to candidates, readers

As we approach the Nov. 5 General Election, the Parkland Press and the Northwestern Press, in the interest of fairness, will halt the publication of columns by local government officials and letters to the editor submitted by those running for office.

The last week for publication of columns by local government officials running for office was the Oct. 10 edition.

Letters to the Editor, written by members of the community in support of a candidate need to be received by The Press no later than 5 p.m. Oct. 18.

Rebuttal letters need to be received by 5 p.m. Oct. 27.
