2007 Mayoral Candidates Debate

On July 11^th the League of Women Voters moderated a Mayoral candidates debate at the Lion’s Hall on Lackland Road. Councilpersons Conlon and Schneider were in attendance while Councilperson Keller was not. Considering she was ill and unable to attend the July 9^th Council meeting it is possible she was still ill last night, though no one connected to the debate recalled ever hearing from her. If she is ill, I hope she is well and back on her feet soon. I am also hoping we hear from her soon so we can add her content to our Mayoral candidates list.

The debate went off without issue. There was a standing room only, very well behaved, crowd in attendance. Being one candidate down and loosing nearly no time having to quiet the crowed or chastise the candidates the moderator was able to get to 16 questions in the hour and a half the debate was scheduled for. At the end of the debate the moderator complemented Overland for this and also said that she moderates many events but Overland consistently has the best citizen turnout.

We would like to thank all those involved once again for allowing us the opportunity to “tape” the event and provide it to the public via the Overland Examiner. Below is that video in its entirety thanks to Google Video:

I am looking into creating debate DVDs like we did back in April. However, due to my work schedule I am not sure I will be able to create more than a few of these. At a minimum we’ll be providing a copy to both Councilpersons who attended and a few archive copies. If you’re interested in providing this video on any other website please feel free to do so. Our only copyright restriction is that you attribute it to “John Moyle of The Overland Examiner” and provide a link back to this article.
