Here, here! I too would like to hear answers to the issues raised in Barb's email. I went to the poorly attended candidate forum at the Whittier Community Center last Thursday as undecided and left undecided. Neither seems to know the issues in the other's neighborhood yet as the elected council member for the 6th Ward, they are "responsible" for both neighborhoods. I don't care to hear what either of them think of the other, I just want to know their plans for when they get elected.
