Forgive me for not having had time yet to complete the questionnaire. This has been very helpful for me as a candidate. This lets me imagine how I would respond to these issues if I were on the City Council. I submit these responses for you to use to help spark discussion. Please allow me the opportunity to submit my responses to other questions as time becomes available to me. Sincerely, Brian Hanninen Cedar-Riverside On Tue, 07 November 2000, "Jordan S. Kushner" wrote: In truth, the two-week deadline is a more of a goal. After all, how could it be enforced anyway. I appreciate the feedback and suggestions, and will continue to present the questionnaire and refine it. At the same time, i think that some prompt and thoughful responses could be very helpful to developing productive focus and discussion. jsk [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Jordan - How definite is the two-week deadline? I am assembling supporters and defining issues at this time. These questions are excellent and deserve well thought out responses. To be honest, I think that whatever candidates state right now may change over the course of the campaign -- conversations with voters will help a candidate clarify his/her own stands. I'll do my best to complete as much of the questionnaire within the time limits you give. I'd ask that you offer this questionnaire or a similar one again in February as the endorsing conventions approach.
