Attending meetings a must for candidates

With less than two weeks to go before petitions are due back from candidates who want to run for the Auburn school board (as of Wednesday afternoon, one petition was in and six were still expected) and for other districts, the clock is quickly running out for those who want to toss their hat into the ring.

For those who want to run to become a member of the Auburn City Council or Cayuga County Legislature, there are about 50 days before petitions can be circulated and another 30 before they can be filed by candidates.

The big question for many who want to run is: What do I need to do to run?
