http://lwvmcva.org/CandidateForums/Guides_Videos.html Links to all such documents are on that page. Only the first Bburg question list & the School Board have the extended questions and answers. There isn’t time before election to get the 2nd Bburg responses. The list of those questions from the 2nd forum should be available later today. Sorry, I couldn’t get them in to the computer at the forum so I’m having to juggle it in with all other work.

Where is a summary of the forum questions and responses, without having to view the entire tape? Time and technical constraints.

Thank you very much for most of your comments….My only exception is that, if I have nightmares because of this visual of the C’burg TC in skirts, I will remember the source:)

Always behave as if mother is in the room. Lisa, so what if people behave differently when a camera is on or others are watching? That is integrity, acting the same with or without an audience. If people cannot articulate the same with or without a camera, are they honest and do we want such people representing us? You’ve only shown that politicians are two-faced with this argument. One discussion for when no one but “my buddies” can hear me, another for public consumption. Now when it comes to the other ‘burg, this blog just demonstrates how much “public business” occurs between real meetings and which is probably skirting the law (to the degree all Christiansburg Council people should have to wear skirts). It is not “thought process” – it is deliberate circumvention of citizens right to know what business is happening and how it is being dealt with on our behalf. If these people don’t have enough integrity to mean what they say then it is time to seek others who have the personal courage it takes, even if it means you can’t please everyone.

Not only is it the “tech” city, there are a lot of students for whom having an internship could make a difference in whether or not they can stay in school!
