A reminder for 8th Ward residents and others who might care -- You may still be trying to figure out whom to vote for among the 10 (!) candidates in the 8th Ward City Council primary Sept. 13.
To help you decide, the ward's two community papers, Southside Pride and the Southwest Journal, are co-sponsoring an 8th Ward Candidate Fair & Discussion: Tuesday, Sept. 6 6:30 p.m.-9 p.m. Martin Luther King Park Center, 41st & Nicollet. We've tried to make this a flexible event because we know everyone has crazy busy schedules. That's why we've split the "candidate fair" (where you can buttonhole candidates one-on-one) into early and late sessions: 6:30-7 p.m. and 8:30-9 p.m. At 7 p.m., we'll do candidate intros - 2 minutes each. At around 7:30, we'll begin a freewheeling discussion - using your questions, we'll let candidates respond without rigid time limits; we hope there will be cross-talk among candidates, critiquing others' points, for example. David Brauer, the Journal's editor who got his experience herding cats as a neighborhood board president, will attempt to moderate the discussion with a firm hand. We hope everyone who's interested can make it. If you want to know more, or volunteer to gather questions and do other small tasks, please email David at [EMAIL PROTECTED] David Brauer Kingfield Editor, Southwest Journal REMINDERS: 1. Be civil!
