Letter and Statement Rules and Guidelines for Candidates and Easton Residents
Fair play: We expect candidates and supporters to stick to issues and not indulge in personal attacks on candidates. We may reject any letter or statement we think is unfair, libelous or in poor taste.
Guidelines for Letters

Deadline is Thursday, Nov. 3 at 11:59 p.m.
