I do hope the organizers of this forum allow uncensored questions from the audience. The only forum that had any meaning for me was the last one, at Onahan, that allowed the people to speak. The others were plastic, prepared talking points that told the audience very little
I hope someone pins down both candidates about their communications plans - the specifics: * Ward Meetings and Forums * Website specifics * How do you get answers and info from the Ward office
You really think any of them are going to be different at this point. These are the generic candidates that are the most main stream. There will be nothing wonderful or new. FYI the Resurection Senior care and Wildwood Park forums were the best, followed by the Norwood Park one.
FYI,

Candidates from both Ward 41 and Ward 45 will attend.
It will be interesting to see how our candidates from 41 compare with the candidates from 45. Have to make this one.

ReplyDeleteat this stage of the game, the candidates are seasoned and should be able to field tough questions. Lets not baby them, that doesn't help voters.

ReplyDeleteGavin can call everyone she knows to march in a parade, but hasn't returned voter phone calls in decades.
ReplyDeletethe voters who come out for run-offs are voters who want change.
