Area Public Schools Board candidates. All six candidates have confirmed
their intent to be present.
The LWV and its co-sponsors invite the public to participate in this forum.
Written questions to the candidates will be generated from the audience in
attendance. The forum begins at 7:00 PM in the council chambers of the
Winona City Hall, 4th and Lafayette Streets in Winona. The forum will be
broadcast live on the government access cable TV Channels for Charter and
HBCI. Radio and newspaper media are also invited to attend. During the
televised forum, a telephone line to call in questions will be available.
An additional forum is planned for the Winona County Commissioner and
Sheriff Candidates. The County offices forum will be on October 17, 2006.
Also an informational event on the local and state referenda taxation issues
on the general election ballot will be held on October 12,2006.
Representatives of the City of Winona and the Winona County Highway
Engineer, Dave Kramer will present the referenda issues. Since these
issues are presented directly to the voters, and at the time of this new
release, organized opposition groups are unknown. The public is invited to
question the panel. The moderated event encourages an exploration of the
issues from the audience in attendance. The presenters will be providing
the rationale from the City of Winona and the State of Minnesota that placed
the issues on the general election ballot. The County offices forum will be
on October 17, 2006. Both events will be held at Winona City Hall starting
at 7:00 pm. Watch for future media releases.
The League of Women Voters, Winona Unit, Womens Resource Center of Winona,
the American Association of University Women, Winona Area PTA Council,

voters to go and vote on the Election Day, November 7, 2006. Voter
pre-registration is recommended if you are a new voter or have moved since

valid identification. Absentee ballots and or voter registration information
