QUOTE(southsider2k7 @ Sep 18 2007, 01:08 PM)  Thanks for posting the press release in this forum. But, I do need to make a correction. The original article said "Tickets ordered by phone will be delivered". I have asked the N-D for a correction since they printed "Meals ordered by phone will be delivered". But thanks for post! |

I imagine the candidates who do happen upon this site have an interest in looking over the previous stuff re the primary election.

QUOTE(Roger Kaputnik @ Oct 11 2007, 02:04 PM) How did the Harris feed go? How is the campaign going? I'd have to say that the event was a success ... over 100 people. Some folks jsut came for the food, but most were there to meet the candidates. Campaign is going great. Appeared on the News & Views Show last weekend and just did the candidate interview with ALCO channel 97. They will begin airing the candidate interviews I believe on Oct 25th. I'll be out knocking on doors until then end. Feedback so far is great! Had a press release in the N-D under political notebook on Tuesday, Oct 9th. Expect to see other releases each week until the election. Happy to anser questions anyone has to ask. |

I have a keen interest in making and keeping the Lakefront and TC Corridor open to the public and accessible, รก la Grant Park in miniature here. That usually means that I am opposed to building to the water's edge. How do you feel about open, accessible parks in those areas?

I am opposed the introduction of allowing privatedevelopment in the park. Our resources, Washington Park, are incredible in size. To open these areas up to private development can onlyt minimize what we already do not have enough of. If a private entity moves into the Yacht Club building to open a restaurant would be a feasible and acceptable additiopn to the park, but to build any more of anything at the lakefront would certainly be a travesty in the making. |

Ideally, the Yacht Club area would just be a lease. I am still concerned about the Trail Creek Corridor.

Sorry for the delay in responding ... work and campaign keeping me incredibly busy. In any case, I agree that the Trail Creek Corridor should remain open with the exception of nature/bike trails. This does pose a problem though with a great deal of these areas being privately owned. If curent zoning regs allow for development of condos or such, it is going to be incredibly difficult to stop these kinds of developments. A perfect example of this kind of development are the hotelminimums going up where Swingbellies resides. Money talks and the current administration listens. Changes need to be made in an attempt to preserve some of the resources we currently have. |

The current administration needs to be jolted out of office. Too bad; they are just being returned to office. They have the potential to REALLY screw up (pardon the language) if allowed.

I realize that my being the lone Republican on the council will make accomplishing much a daunting task. My plan would be to show that the "machine" is beatable and in turn encourage others to run 4 years from now. Change cannot happen overnight, but if we can begin with one and continue the momentum for more later, we have at least begun a process that just might make a difference. |

If I lived in MC, you would have my vote! The Dems are running the city down. MC needs GOP.
No offense to anyone, especially the Dems. Just my opinion... Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind~Dr. Suess

None taken.  A bi-partisan council would do our City a lot of good, except that there is power in numbers, and it's mostly Dem. Good luck to Hobbs/Harris/Lindborgh in the fall! The trick will be to get the voters out... |

QUOTE(Roger Kaputnik @ Oct 24 2007, 11:54 AM) What is in place to get that vote out in MC? I have been knocking on doors ... probably two-thirds of the ward so far. I have also been running radio spots on the WEFM as well as the new WIMS. These are increasing in intensity (quantity) as election day draws nearer. I am also going to have a phone bank the weekend before the election to phone all households in the ward. Feedback so far is very good. Haven't advertised it yet, but we are having a Coffee with the Candidates on Saturday Nov 3rd at Republican Headquarters, 725 Franklin (the old PDH Office Supply Bldg). No charge, all are welcome ... last chance to meet the candidates before the election. Hope many can come down. |
