We take a look at the stories that are coming to the web and in
the paper. This week: History class project goes to the capital and
library bond has less than two-thirds voters’ support
1. History class project goes to the capital
Darren Yafai’s history class at Gilroy High School chronicled 26 ‘Stories of Service’ – stories of the men and women who fought in WWII. Armed with a documentary his students made on their experience with the project, Yafai’s headed to the nation’s capitol to teach others how he did it.
2. Library bond has less than two-thirds voters’ support
With less than two weeks to go before the election, how is the library bond faring? Two earlier polls of voters showed that just under two-thirds – the required threshold to pass a bond – supported Measure F. Residents have received informational mailers paid for by the city and heard the City Council’s endorsement of the bond measure, but an ardent group has also been waging an anti-F campaign in the name of saving taxpayers’ dollars. Which side is winning more support ahead of the election, and what is each one doing as the days wind down?
