Election Day is Tuesday | do you know what your local candidates are saying?

On Tuesday, November 5, Columbia’s registered voters will be voting for open positions on the borough council and the school board of directors. Many of the candidates have facebook pages that serve as one method of message delivery that can be informative, constructive and  focused on real-issues (links to their facebook pages are shown below in this post). Additionally, some of the candidates have been knocking on doors to personally meet voters.
