Editor’s Column: Forum input

Happy St. Patrick’s Day! Everyone gets to be a little bit Irish today. Time for corned beef and cabbage, plenty of potatoes and soda bread hot from the oven. Enjoy!

We’ve had a few people ask if we plan to conduct candidate forums for the upcoming special district elections and the primary election. The answer is yes, we are planning to hold candidate forums, but we need some help from you.

I’ve not thought of it this way before this last week, but candidate forums are kind of the equivalent of job interviews. We, the citizens, are hiring people to work on our behalf with our votes. From that perspective what questions do you think need to be asked in this election cycle? Questions can be specific to a certain board, office or candidate.
