WUBS has a different take on civic responsibility

by Don Wheeler

I get quite a few questionaires and meeting offers as an at-large cadidate for the South Bend School Board. It's not hyperbole to say that the one I got from WUBS 89.7 FM is unique. Here it is, verbatim:

Dear Candidate,

WUBS will hold a "School Board Debate" October 18, 2008. This Debate will be a great opportunity to showcase your ideas, views and tell the Michiana audience why they should vote for your campaign. This will be a great way to advertise. We would love to have you apart of this event!

Every candidate from each District is invited to participate. Don't Let This Opportunity Pass You By! The entry fee is only $100 payable by Oct. 11, 2008. This program will broadcast "live" on the air and will feature a "replay" before the General Election Nov. 4, 2008.

To confirm your participation please contact Shane Williams at 574-287-4700 or broshane@wubs.org .

Sometimes there's just no need to comment further. Rest assured, Mr. Williams will hear from me.
