"Vote No on $78M Pool" signs are going up around Camas in response to the city's $78 million bond proposition on the November ballot, which would build a community-aquatics center with two pools, athletic courts, community rooms and exercise equipment, as well as improve sports fields throughout the city.

With a mayor’s race that now has two write-in candidates; a hotly debated $78 million community-aquatics center bond proposal; and several contested city council, school board and port commission seats headed to voters in the Nov. 5 general election, there is no shortage of political information flowing through Camas and Washougal this election season.

Starting tomorrow and continuing through October, the Post-Record will cover all of the contested positions, offer an in-depth look at the community center bond proposition and give readers some background information on unopposed candidates.

Thank you for reading the Post-Record.
