Ward Two and Four Candidates debate to be held on March 19, 2012 at 7:00 PM in the BOA chambers, City Hall

As of this writing I have firm commitments from the following candidates for Alderman in the April election.

Ward Two: Tim Trueblood, Mary Stadter

Ward Four: Steve Nieder, Dan Tennessen

(All Alderman and the Mayor will be invited, but only candidates will be debating.)

The format will be as follows, each Ward will have one hour for questions from the audience which must be hand written in advance with the questioners Name and Ward on it (can be first name only.) The forms for the questions will be available at the door starting at 6:30 PM.

Your questions will then be asked by one of the three moderators (Jackie Stock, Roger Anderson, or Tom Ford.) Each Candidate will have three minutes to answer the question and their opponent will have three minutes for rebuttal if needed.

Each Ward will be given a total of one hour for their portion of the debate, and we will stick to that time frame so as to give everyone a chance to ask and answer.

We ALL ask that the candidates not attempt to "stack" the audience in their favor as we expect fair play from all involved.

Please remember that there is no food or drink allowed in the chambers and your keeping the room as we found it will be greatly appreciated.

We hope to see ALL of you there for this most important debate, and remember, as the man once said, "You get the Government you deserve.

Tom Ford
