Two full pages in the Journal on "Schools" today

And still nothing substantial about the February 3rd School
Board Elections.

The exception; 6 column inches in the Metro section, reminding voters that today is the last day to register to vote in that election. In fairness, the Journal did re-mention candidates names, but nothing else. Two candidates have dropped out of the race since filing day; Leonard DeLayo link and Michael Swisher.

Covering election issues is one the main reasons for the existence of newspapers.

If the Journal is not actively engaged in covering up substantial issues in the election, how else can their refusal to cover the election issues be explained? Could this be as simple as the Journal enjoying APS' advertising revenues? Did someone tell the Journal that if they spill the beans, their gravy train will leave the tracks?

I just finished checking out the Union site to see who they were endorsing. Couldn't find a word on it. So much for the Union PAC.
