Mail-in election may bring library tax home

With a lick of a stamp rather than a drive to the polls, residents in nine communities served by the county library system are deciding this month whether to continue a parcel tax or increase it. The cause is good and so is the process, an election by mail.

and one last reminder...

Library ballots are due at the registrar of voters' office -- 1555 Berger Drive in San Jose -- on May 3. Win or lose -- and we hope the tax passes -- the mail-in ballot should reverse a trend of falling voter turnout. That alone would be a cause for celebration.
