The Benton Park West Neighborhood Association is
> sponsoring a 20th Ward
> Aldermanic Candidate Forum on Thursday, February
> 15th, at 7 p.m. at the Five
> Star Senior Center, located at the corner of Oregon
> and Arsenal. The
> candidates are incumbent Craig Schmid and former
> BPWNA President Galen
> Gondolfi.
>
> The basic planned layout for the forum is as
> follows:
>
> We will have a neutral moderator. Each candidate is
> given 5 minutes to tell
> about themselves and their ideas. The moderator
> will then ask a set of 3
> questions to each candidate (same questions to
> both). The candidates have 2
> minutes to respond each. Following this, questions
> will be read from those
> provided by the audience. If the question is to
> one specific person, the
> other could get a 30 sec. reply. We would like to
> ensure a multitude of
> topics are covered and both candidates have their
> time to speak and
> respond. Candidates will be given the opportunity
> for a two-minute closing
> statement.
>
> If you have any questions, please contact Eric
> Winters, BPWNA President:
