WLVL AM 1340, along with the Lockport Union-Sun & Journal is hosting a candidates forum at the Dale Association on November 2, 2005. The two-hour long forum will include candidates running for positions in the City of Lockport, as well as legislative races in and around Lockport, and the sheriff's race. It will be broadcast live on WLVL from 7 to 9 p.m.


So far candidates who have agreed to participate include: William Boulden, D, 7th district Niagara County legislature; Glenn Aronow, R, 16th district Niagara County legislature; and John Villella, D, 19th district Niagara County legislature.


For an up-to-date account of who will and who won't attend, keep your eyes on the front page of scottleffler.com. If you know a candidate and they're not on the "will attend" list, call them and tell them you want them to attend.

This is a REALLY good idea. You can't tell crap from a newspaper Q&A.

Scott, a candidates night the same time and night as a City Common Council meeting?


Do you expect the current Council members to show up?


I know they have changed meeting times in the past, but do you have any reason to believe


current members will be present at this candidates night?


I hope so, this has been the most quiet political season in some time!


Good Luck and have fun.

Kevin,

Unfortunately, it was the only night that worked for us.

I have talked with Council President Lombardi about it and he hopes to have a short meeting that night.

County candidates will be on first with city candidates to follow. Barring something crazy at 1 Locks Plaza, timing should work out well.

Sounds like a plan...let's just hope Lombardi's cell phone doesn't ring and cause another lock down!LOL

Scott,


 I read the list coming into the forum of the candidates who have accepted the invitation to come before the public and speak. I actually think it is getting way too long for only two hours. You will never be able to do justice to the public or the candidates. You might want to consider having it two nights and dividing the city and the county candidates into two separate groups. If not two separate nights, I would suggest lengthening the hours. Two hours is not nearly enough time for that many people. Please think about it. By the time each gives a short 2 minute introduction of themselves and why they want to run, or why they feel they deserve another term, an hour will already be almost over...
