Jason, I was taken back by your sarcasm. I have been in the role of a challenger. I too had to wade into papers and research to answer questions. I did not expect the incumbent to provide my materials. I researched the issues using available public record and information I found in Board (City Council) reports etc. I even asked other incumbents to explain materials.
Before I ran, I had ten years of neighborhood and appointed Board experience. I was able to use my experiences to actually develop the positions on issues. I know having actual experience is old fashioned to many in our community. However, this provided a depth of knowledge I needed to research the issues. I would urge you to build on your experiences. Contact other Board members and experts in the community. Tony Scallon Longfellow REMINDERS: 1. Be civil! Please read the NEW RULES at http://www.e-democracy.org/rules.
