Dwayne,
I recall corresponding with you via email back when
the school closing debate was hot and heavy. We agreed to not forward
each others emails. I am having a difficult time reading your editorials
lambasting a certain School Board member about their stand on neighborhood
schools when you in fact supported the exact same thing even naming Madison and
Central schools as buildings that should remain open. If you need a
reminder I will kindly forward copies of your emails back to
you. Lets base this election on the truth. This
school district is in better shape and is headed in a better direction than
it was 4-5 years ago. Give credit where it is due. Although it
befits you, stop the mudslinging campaign.

Subject: [Winona] WOD Hosting Some Kind
of Local Candidate Forum or Debate?
[Winona Online Democracy]
To say the least, Kelly Herold and I have some
different opinions when it comes to the School Board.
But I do respect the fact that he (and Sue Brown)
still read and respond to Winona Online Democracy.
I also strongly agree with Kelly's suggestion
that Winona Online Democracy try to host some kind of candidate debate or
forum.
We have tried that before in the past but only
had very limited success because many candidates weren't willing to
participate.
Maybe it might work this time around.
This is exactly the kind of thing Winona Online
Democracy was created to do.
It obviously can't be me but would others be
willing to try to help put the forum or debate together?

I think an important
topic area is to consider the following.
I believe that the candidates
running for office should have a chance to lay out their positions on
key issues.
No where else would candidates have a chance to share with
the public their thinking as thoroughly as WOD.
The WDN blog and other
blogs have become popular and interesting I suppose. But where else can
candidates and the public get a chance to learn more about positions.
I
also believe that their should be some constraints that is WOD debate the
issues to be considered and each candidate given a reasonable word limit to
make their case.
For example, Mr. Voegli and I more than likely
disagree on the issue of school closure. Both of us have somewhat
reasonable arguments and even though we arent running against as of our
interaction via the WDN and blogs people know where we stand. If he were
running for the school board or if I were running again folks would be able
to clearly compare us.
So I ask that we consider
1.
Candidacies
District
31 senate
School
board
County
commissioners
Sheriff
2.
Then if folks are agreeable to that discussion as to what 4-8 major
issues pertinent to each office.
If this is done fairly and well
folks could be directed to the WOD as the place to be to learn about
candidates.
As is I dont know where else a compare and contrast venue
can be birthed and allow for good breadth and depth.

Something I personally enjoy discussing when I'm
able:
Why does the American media since
WW2 try to terrify the public with it's
reporting?
It does not cover much of the
REAL good America, which is everywhere if you look for it, but
tends to prefer to make the public fearful and distrusting of their
government.
I realize that a fearful public is easier to
control than a bunch of free thinkers.
Any other
suggestions?
