Title: Virtual Forums-County
Commissioners
WOD
members... Dave Stoltman and Steve Delano have
followed up with posts to have a virtual
forum...
They responded to the
following question, that our committee composed:
How would you solve the overcrowding problem at the jail?
Would you support building a new jail or do you have other
alternatives? How would you pay for solving this problem?
From my Sept 1st post,
you can now--- From the candidate statements, subscribers
could ask further questions relevant to the topic, make observations
of their own, and you can respond in any appropriate way
Let's here your voice in this
virtual forum. Thanks Randy
Schenkat
Below is the
letter that went out to all local and state level candidates in late
August..
8/25/04
Dear Public Office Candidate:
Winona Online Democracy(WOD) is entering its 5th year as a vehicle to
empower, inform and engage the citizenry by creating an ongoing
community-wide discussion of local public issues. Approximately
225 individuals are subscribers to this list serv. Some of our surveys
over the years have shown that subscribers share what's being aired
in WOD with others as they forward the emails or talk with
others Also, sometimes the media has picked up on stories from
comments in WOD. . So its reach is more that 225 individuals.
For more information go to our web site:
www.winonaonlinedemocracy.org.
In conjunction with the public forums we are planning with the League
of Women Voters, we'd like to invite you to participate in a
virtual on-line forum. With the League, we will develop a broad
question on an important public issue to be discussed in your
forum. We will send you that question 5 days before the live
forum. The n, we will invite you to post your views on the
subject on WOD by 8 a.m. 3 days prior to your forum.
From the
candidate statements, subscribers could ask further questions relevant
to the topic, make observations of their own, and you can respond in
any appropriate way. So, for instance, the County Board race
candidates would get the question by the 16th- and would post at
approximately 8 a.m. on the 18th. Your emails as well as
all subscribers go directly to the list serv; there is no prior
screening. Also, all posts are stored at our
archives.
We are making plans for these 4 post primary races:
o September 21 � Winona County Board Districts 3 & 4
o September 29 � City of Winona: Mayor& Council Positions At
Large & Ward 3
o September 30 � Winona Area Public Schools Board Districts 4 &
5
o October 6 - MN House of Representatives 31A and 28B
o October 19 - Winona County Soil & Water Supervisor District
#3
Please

[EMAIL PROTECTED] (prefer e-mails so we can send you further details
electronically) or call 507-452-7168 and leave message if
you'd be willing to participate by Aug 30th.
