We'll ask the candidates for their stances on a range of local issues. But first we want to know what's most important to you. 

Whether it's cell phone coverage, the so-called "Whole Foods" project, the future of the Gill Tract, waterfront development or something else altogether—let us know in the comments what you'd like us to ask the candidates for both City Council and the Board of Education.

Another example of more balanced reporting from Berkeleyside article:…Read More http://www.berkeleyside.com/2013/05/17/uc-berkeley-seeks-funds-to-cut-down-22000-non-native-trees/. Some of the comments are useful especially about glyphosphate. The author of the article even used his own name.

Not that I am in favor of dosing the environment with petrochemicals, but I do like to make decisions based on facts. I also have to wonder about the accuracy of the source given that it is an opinion piece rather than an article.
