There is a League of Women Voters Forum Scheduled for all Ramsey Candidates on Thursday, October 23rd at 7 pm at City Hall.
This is an important opportunity for the Residents to view the Candidates 'in action', for the Candidates to have the opportunity to answer resident questions and simply a great way for residents to compare the candidates. It should be know that in these forums (at least when we had the Primary Forum in August), the Candidates DO NOT receive any questions in advance. All questions come from the residents that attend the forum and fill out index cards with their question. The moderator then reads the questions and the Candidates each have a moment to answer the question. It is very 'on the spot' and a good way to get a feel of whether a Candidate is knowledgeable, forthwright and able to deal with the position they are seeking.
I think it is very important that our Candidates make themselves available to Ramsey residents by attending this Forum as Ramsey is heading into some tuff issues and seeking a new direction. We have the right to be sure our elected officials are able to represent us and handle our Community as the Citizens desire.
Are each of the Candidates all planning to attend? If not, Why not?
