I questioned this before and I will question it again - how are the
at-large candidates supposed to be in 2 places at one time. We had already
been invited by the Kenwood Isles Association to a League of Women Voters
facilitated Forum at the Kenwood Rec Center the same night - the same
time. They invited us over two weeks ago before knowing this date of GetBOB.
This doesn't seem quite right and something has to give.

Getting to the Bottom of the Ballot is hosting two October events, one
dedicated to the Park Board, and one for all 31 city offices on the ballot
this year. You can learn more about the GetBoB project at our web site
(www.GetBoB.org), but here are the essentials for the two events:
We're excited to host a grand brouhaha of a candidate debate for the Park
Board candidates throughout the city. We will begin with an At-Large
candidate forum featuring the six finalists, but then we will break into
park districts and run six head-to-head candidate debates. Join us for an
exciting night dedicated to our parks.

You may ask yourself.../Who wants to be on the Board of Estimate and
Taxation? -- /our *Candidate Fair* will give you a chance to meet some of
the people seeking your vote. Come enjoy a pressure-free evening of
chatting with candidates and other voters like you. This fair won't
include any debates or hyped-up rhetoric--just a chance to talk
face-to-face with candidates. If nothing else, come to enjoy some ice
cream or a root beer float. This is one-stop shopping--there aren't many
other opportunities to find all the candidates on the ballot in one room,
just waiting for voters to stroll by...
*General Election Candidate Fair
Wednesday, October 26th
7:00 pm - 9:00 pm
DeLaSalle High School Cafeteria
One DeLaSalle Drive *
I look forward to seeing everyone at both.
