Is it a waste of money? Yes and no. Most have pretty much made up their minds how they will vote (if it at all) long before the candidates are known or shortly after. A few, however, do read anything and everything they can about the candidates -- those are the ones targeted by the brochures. So, they can make a difference.

Personally, I'm more upset that the ads end up in the trash rather than in recycling.

While it seems like a "how can they possibly do that?"
Endeavor, if they do, we applaud them as much as we do for recycling drainage water

Another great move by the developer,

But ...." how can they do it?"
