I have been astounded by the complete lack of Moscow election
coverage by the Moscow - Pullman Daily News. The paper has not even seen
fit to print even one article acknowledging that a new mayor and three
council members were elected, and tabulating the vote count. Surely this is
news.
Admittedly this week's uncontested election was not very exciting.
It was, however, a missed opportunity to discuss issues, and to find out
more about where the candidates stand on the issues. The city has an
abundance of very important issues.
I subscribe to the Daily News for one main reason -- to learn about
what's happening in Moscow government, the U of I, local planning, and local
organizations. Given how poor their Moscow coverage has been recently, I
have little reason to continue my subscription.
