Next month, voters in Deschutes County will cast their ballots in a special election that will decide the fate of a handful of ballot measures and candidates competing in local district races. As it has done in past elections, the Source Weekly, an independently owned newspaper based in Bend, shared its endorsements for the election on May 16. But for the first time in its history, the paper published an editorial to weigh in on candidates vying for seats on the Deschutes library board, and why it thinks “there's a good reason for all of us to be paying closer attention” to this particular race. Joining us now to explain what’s at stake is Nicole Vulcan, editor of the Source Weekly.
