On Tuesday, it's your choice

For the past few weeks, most of this page has been given over to readers' letters, primarily commenting on Tuesday's election.

It is healthy to hear from writers who have genuine concerns about who will serve them in public office, especially in a gubernatorial race with three major candidates and the first-time election of a lieutenant governor in our state.

In the voting booth, no editor can censor your views, put an inaccurate headline over them or make them fit a limited amount of space.
