The three candidate sessions we taped at WBTA this evening all went well.

They will air tomorrow morning (Friday) starting at 10 a.m.

The order should be: Julie Wallace and Tim Buckley (City Council at-large), followed by Chris Charvella and Hollis Upson (County Legislature) and Rose Mary Christian and Robert Radley (County Legislature).

It took Ethan pretty much the whole day to get last night's video edited and processed.  I would expect the video of tonight's discussions to not be available until tomorrow evening.

I'm pretty pleased with how these segments went. There were good discussions on the issues without any the rancor that sometimes spoils the chance to fully hear candidates on important issues.  While we couldn't get to maybe all of the issues, we still covered a lot of ground and the candidates actually answered the questions and discussed the issues. It would be well worth your time to tune in or watch the videos.

Great job Ethan!

Howard,
These videos are very informative and well done. All the candidates did a good job answering the questions. However, you and Dan made a fundamental mistake. All six at-large candidates are vying for the same three seats. They all should have been asked the exact same questions in the exact same way. Maybe even with a time limit, similar to a debate. Could you follow up with a questioner?

I would like to thank Howard and Dan once again for hosting the forum. It was a great opportunity for me to get my message out to the public and remember, if you live in the 8th District and haven't seen my at your door yet, you can count on a visit from me very soon.
