Dear Mr. Larson, In the month of February, the “Cass County Citizens Journal-Sun” has provided the readers with excellent opportunities to learn about the election process and the ballots for the primary. The first coverage was about the “Potatoes and Politics” political forum. You not only reported the event through the newspaper publication, but also and through the “Journal-Sun” Facebook page with a video of the forum.
