the various mayoral and city council candidates here. I may just hold it
against a candidate and his/her campaign if I don't ... and if instead I see
them waging only a "Facebook campaign" or posting on that corporate "lost dog"
web site (I think you know the one I'm talking about) like they are hiding.
(Hey candidates: Can't you take the heat? And thanks to those of you who do
post here, like Liz and Scott the parks commissioners. Too many of the rest of
you are conspicuous in your absence!)
At least let us know of the candidate forums. I accidentally stumbled upon
these two mayoral candidate forums from miscellaneous emails I receive. One is
tonight; just saw this yesterday.
