A Meet the Candidates Night is scheduled for Thursday evening, February 28th. If you are unable to attend and have questions that you would like to have asked in your absence, submit them here (click on comment at the bottom of this post) and I will do my best to make sure the questions are asked and that the answers are posted here after the meeting.
Do you think that there are questions that all candidates should answer?
Do you know things about the candidates that you would like to share with others in the community? (does not have to be positive, but keep it clean and civil. And you do have to take responsibility for what you say -- no anonymous cheap-shots)
Submit your ideas via email to me, Steve Frahm, at TAJResident.blogspot.com, or simply put them in the comments. If you need help in how to make a comment, scroll all the way down and read the help on the left side of the page.
