I wish more groups sponsored more events sooner. I would like to see the city sponsor a free event at the civic center. So far this debate is the only public debate scheduled and I accept the invitation.

While I look forward to a debate, I disagree with the pay-per-view concept. I also disagree with the format. Let’s make this a true and open forum with the only “entry price” being the citizens name on a draw card. Have a random drawing and let the selected citizen ask their question. No pre-screening, let the chips fall as they may. This is about getting the public involved with their government and having a real voice again. This is the core of my candidacy. The people don’t have trust in their government. Why would they have trust in people selecting the questions in advance? I’m sure with a little leg work we can find a willing venue at a church or school. Susan Kahn Electkahn.com Candidate for Mayor Greg and David, thank you for the effort to organize this event.
