Here are the candidate Web sites to date. The information is fairly anodyne and non-specific. If you want to know more about their positions on critical issues in our neighborhood, the best bet is to attend the candidate forum next week and submit questions.

Hi Growler - I think it would be useful if you invited each of the council candidates to respond in your blog to a list of your readers' concerns/questions. It would be useful to pin them down, in writing, as to how they stand on issues affecting our neighborhood, such as BRT, public housing dispersal, Resolution 830, fair share, dense development, and crime. Are you game? Please!!! I plan to attend the forum, but worry that asking such questions orally will only give them an opportunity to weasel.
That's a terrific idea. Challenge them to respond in writing to a list of questions, and promise in return to post their entire response (subject to reasonable length limitations). It would be a huge service to the community.
Yeah, and maybe so The Growler remains above reproach first post the questions for a day for all to note.
What about using the points that floated for a while?
I would be interested to hear Walker's and Wilson's opinions on both Resolution 830 and the current BM Plan.
If Walker opposes development and supports 830, how does he reconcile this position (he essentially seems to be saying - leave the Metro area alone.)
If Wilson is pro-development and pro-830, then how does he reconcile that? Lets build lots of condoes next to public housing projects that are destroying the wuality of life of a neighborhood?
Its time to get some consistency and policy reconciliation from the Democratic Party in this city.
