Topic is election coverage. Good evening everyone. Uh my name is Steve Soloff. I run a project called inform the votenj.com. Most of you guys on the board are pretty much aware of what I do, but since we have a new superintendent and for anybody at home following along who

9
00:03:13.599 --> 00:03:32.400
hasn't heard, uh basically uh my project covers local elections. Um, a couple years ago, I opened my sample ballot and was honest with myself, realizing I didn't know too much about many of the candidates on my ballot. So, I decided

10
00:03:32.400 --> 00:03:48.640
to do some research and my project has grown to covering anything from Senate races to local schoolboard races. So, I'm just reminding anybody who's up for reelection or new candidates that

11
00:03:48.640 --> 00:04:04.159
everyone is welcome to participate with my project. Uh, I send out questionnaires about um background information, platform information, um, intended goals should someone get

12
00:04:04.159 --> 00:04:20.880
elected. I also do a weekly radio show at WVLT and people are welcome to come on and participate with that. So people can uh get a sense of how people present themselves visually in audio as opposed

13
00:04:20.880 --> 00:04:36.639
to just answering a questionnaire through text. And uh I that's pretty much it. Thanks. >> Thanks Mr. Solaf. Any other yellow sheets? >> No more yellow sheets. Is there anybody else from the public that wishes to speak?
