Enough Candidate Forums

I am excited that there will be lots of chances to meet and evaluate candidates for Greensboro City Council. I am always amazed and amused at the reasons we vote for a particular candidate. I hope the voters will be more informed and selective in their choices in 2007.

Some ways I recommend to find out more about candidates:

Radio 1070 AM (available at WGOS.net) will have candidate interviews almost every morning on the Dusty Dunn show. A chance to call-in or e-mail your suggested questions to potential City Council Members. Phone: 454-5024.
