Profiles of candidates running for positions on six local boards are being printed in this week’s edition of The Clarendon Enterprise.
All of the candidates were contacted about the questionnaire for the newspaper, and all but five responded to the request for information.
Among the questions posed by the Enterprise was about whether the candidates’ property taxes were paid up with the Donley County Appraisal District, and the answers to that question were verified Tuesday afternoon.
Four candidates, none of who responded to the survey, were found to owe taxes. That information is printed with the survey results inside this week’s issue.
Early voting by personal appearance is currently underway and continues through next Tuesday, May 4. Election Day will be Saturday, May 8.
