Guidelines for Submitting Letters to the Suffield Patch Editor

SUFFIELD, CT — Friday marks the official beginning of autumn, and as the leaves begin to cover the grass, other brightly-colored objects are also appearing on lawns across Hartford and Tolland counties - campaign signs.

Campaigns for municipal elections are in full swing, and with that comes the inevitable letters to the editor. Suffield Patch has established some basic rules to which letter writers should adhere:

• Patch Media welcomes letters to the editor on local topics, and reserves the right to edit letters for brevity or clarity.
• Acceptable letters regarding political candidates will refer to the positive qualities of the candidate; letters which are considered negative toward a candidate's opponent will be edited or unpublished.
• Please focus letters on local races and ballot questions.
• Email letters, including the writer's name, address and phone, to tim.jensen@patch.com.
• Deadline for letters is Oct. 31; letters received after that date will not be published.
