It's interview season

We are beginning candidate interview season this afternoon.

Today's session will feature candidates for the Greensboro City Council's District 1 seat and will include incumbent Dianne Bellamy-Small and challengers Luther Falls and Charles Coffey.

Tomorrow we'll interview at-large candidates Florence Gatten, Sandra Anderson, Yvonne Johnson and Joel Landau. (We've split the at-large sessions in two because there are eight candidates. We've scheduled a second interview next week for the other four).

We typically conduct group interviews for the sake of efficiency and because it allows us to compare the candidates' stances on the issues in one setting.

Many of them don't like that format, but they indulge us.

We also ask the candidates to fill out questionnaires that we later will post online in their entirety.

If there are any issues you'd like for them to address in this interviews, please let me know.

I would like to see the candidates from District One discuss how they could improve cross departmental communication. i would like to ask the At-large candidates if they would support drug testing for council members as well as a physical. After all, they are paid and are offered health insurance. Should they have to meet some health regulations?

Lilly said:

Yes Ben me too. Great idea.

In the wake of Katrina, I'd be interested to know if Mayor Holliday and others are reviewing Greensboro's emergency management plans. Thank you.
