This week voters in the Third Ward (north and northeast Mpls) will have two interesting opportunities to see their candidates for city council (DFL-endorsed Joe Biernat and Green Party-endorsed Shane Price) debate each other:
Tuesday morning, October 23rd is the public policy forum at Lucille's Kitchen on Plymouth Avenue (9-11am I think). There will also be a debate between the 5th Ward candidates (DFL-endorsed Jackie Cherryhomes and Green Party-endorsed Natalie Johnson Lee) this same morning. KMOJ (and possibly other media) will cover the forum live. Wednesday evening, October 24th at 7pm the Third Ward candidates will appear at a forum at Edison High School (22nd Ave. and Monroe NE) in the school's classy vintage auditorium. This forum is particularly interesting as it has been organized by students at Edison with assistance from the Holland Neighborhood Improvement Association. This is the first time I know of that a high school student group has organized such a forum. The students have created flyers, determined the format, met both candidates, and researched issues in the ward in preparation for the debate. The students are very enthusiastic, the public is invited, and it should be an interesting and unique forum.
