The Mayoral debate last night was extremely interesting and engaging. It was the ultimate of "community outreaches" except for the councilmembers not being on stage. (though I did see Councilmembers Allen, Stillin, Flynn, and Shutz there and enjoyed an excellent talk with Kim Allen).
Though it's too bad it took a debate to finally get the Mayor to visit and engage with the neighborhoods, his participation was helpful in understanding how he runs the city. Steve Fields performance was excellent, and a breath of fresh air that has been so desperately needed! He has a world of wisdom. There is much we can learn from him. He is sincere and an incredible hard working, intelligent challenger. Our city is so fortunate to have Steve in the race. It's my belief he won the debate though the good news is you can decide for yourselves if you missed it.
The Redmond Reporter was there and we can look forward to their reporting this Friday. But what is really exciting is the city taped the debate and it will be shown on TV (Channel 21) at the following times:
Fridays at 8pm, Saturday and Sunday at noon, Monday at noon, Tuesday &Wednesday at 2pm and Thursday at 5pm.
I also just heard that the city will be posting a video of the debate on YOUTUBE by end of business, Friday
Please, please, please try to find some time to view the debate to be better informed when you vote. You will find it's worth every minute!

I think you mean council member Shutz. Incoming council member Angela Birney was also there.
ReplyDeleteI mostly heard a lot of "I'm going to plan to plan" from Mr. Fields, as well as a disturbing lack of knowledge of anything outside of his prepackaged talking points. Can anyone tell me why he's in favor of a town square but thinks the downtown park is an awful idea?
Hmm is this article an editorial or a news piece...
