There must not be many voters in town who have questions of the candidates because the announcement was posted here on MUSA, a story appeared on the front page of the Journal's Local section, and TV Middletown is running promos -- yet only ONE person has e-mailed in a question to be asked at the Kiwanis candidates' forum next week. Our goal is to have all questions come firectly from the voters rather than having the moderator generate questions and to alternate each question between one from someone at home (submitted in advance) and one from someone in the live audience, so we need more of them sent in, please!
If you can't make it in person or don't want to get up in front of the cameras to ask your question, e-mail it within the next eight days to mailto:voter2011@att.net - voter2011@att.net .
Or, if you want to ask your question in person, please arrive early the evening of the forum so we may get everyone with a "live" question placed in order to come up and ask them. (Hopefully we'll have enough time for everyone with a question to be heard.)
Remember, the 90-minute forum -- which will air live on TV Middletown -- takes place in the Council Chambers of the City Building at 7 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 13.

I live in Monroe and work in Middletown. Do my questions count?
1. Can the city cut back on Section 8 Housing? Anyway to reduce that program? 2. What economic development efforts would you bring to the table? 3. How would you reach out to Monroe Council regarding SunCoke and ST RT63 Extension? 4. How would you balance the budget? ------------- http://www.johnbeagle.com/" rel="nofollow - John Beagle Middletown USA News of, for and by the people of Middletown, Ohio. |

| We want questions to be sent by e-mail rather than posted in a forum so the candidates don't see them in advance and can't prepare "canned" answers ahead of time. |
