NBC11 Piece
Thank you to Emy, who alerted me in time to catch a piece about the campaign on our local NBC affiliate. I wish they had stressed that the ballots have to be IN by Tuesday (they can't just be postmarked by Tuesday and even in our last phone calls last night we were still getting people who didn't realize that or -- eek -- still thought they could go to the polls instead of voting by mail), but overall it was a fair piece and had very nice photos of story time at Cupertino. They interviewed some of the libertarian opposition and a supportive City Council Member and our County Librarian (who mentioned that they had identified 70 positions they'll have to cut if it fails -- ouch!)
(I'm not sure what was up with the big closeup of the Passover story book, but maybe they shot the footage earlier in the week -- it looks like a cute book though: Seder with the animals by Howard I. Bogot and Mary K. Bogot, llustrated by Norman Gorbaty... and that copy does seem to currently be checked out according to the catalog)
(And yes, I really am looking forward to the day when I can grab good images off the tv or tivo and blog them)
