Forum too

TERRACE — A number. of _

school trustee and aldermanic
candidates are disturbed‘ by the
lateness of the ‘All- Candidates
Forum scheduled for’ Thursday
because it doesn’t allow time for.
the news media to publish issues .
and answers raised: ‘during. ‘the
meeting. .

by Tod Strachan —

Although candidates said that __
they recognize the hard work of. -
the organizers, and didn’t want
to criticize them unfairly for the’
problem, all agreed. that the cir-
‘cumstances may make this one
of the most important candidate
forums in years because it will be

‘the only opportunity. for ‘the

conscientious voter to hear each 7
candidate’s view, ask questions,
listen.to debate, and: choose the
candidate they feel - ‘can do. the
* best job.

Tuesday before the election, but

it was sort of a late decision get- ~

plained that he had approached
