from Dennis Fulfer
There will be a debate for Town Council candidates on February 12th at the next Town Council Meeting. Most issues will be tabled until after the March election to fill two council member member slots. The debate will begin after any business is dealt with.
Tentatively, Glen Fulfer will moderate the event [ED NOTE not confirmed when I received this but may be by now and is the arrangement Mayor Vel Gilley was hoping for]. So far [as of Jan 25], I'm the only person on the panel of judges. There will be a total of four judges. Judges and moderators could flip. The panel will ask a series of questions covering as many topics as possible and then open questions from the audience. Questions and debate time should focus on long term issues and commitments.

Slate and candidate flyers are posted about town, I saw the list at the grocery store but did not have pen and paper to write them down. I won't name any candidate unless I can name all of them accurately. Memory can play tricks. I seem to remember a Kügelschrieber on the list but know that can't be so. I invited another candidate to send me a position statement for the blog but never heard back from him. Tsk, tsk.
I invite ALL candidate to email their position statements to vcrary@yahoo.com for publishing with full credit and as sent.

Did you see Dixie Boyle's story about the candidates in the Independent? I sure hope the candidates have more to say at the debate than they did there. Talk about same old blah blah blah.
I wonder why the article doesn't mention or much of the kind of stuff everyone puts on resumes when they are looking for real jobs.

I did and, unfortunately, have to agree with you. You know, "position statements" are a common writing assignment format in business writing courses. If my students submitted position statements like those for a writing assignment, I regret to say they would not be happy with their grades.
Of the lot, Whitney's was the best because it was more specific than the others, though still in need of development.
