Sanford City Council: Ward 5 Forum Video

October 23, 2007

We’ve finally put the last of our four forum videos online on YouTube. Today, it’s the Sanford City Council Ward 5 Forum (the Q&A appears in today’s Herald).
The candidates are incumbent Linwood Mann and challengers Earl Barker and Ervin Fox (Fox was not present at the forum, but is featured in today’s Q&A).
We hope the videos have helped those who were not able to make the forum. From the counts, it looks like a few hundred people have viewed the videos … not insanely popular, but it’s very possible that a couple dozen of these people now know more heading to the booth than they did before.

Watch any of the forum videos by clicking on the links at the top right of this blog. I will keep the links here until after Election Day (Nov. 6).

    After watching the forum and refering to Mr. Barkers web page I have come to one conclusion. Would the real Earl Barker please stand up? If not, then ask the person that wrote the answers to his web page to at least raise their hand.

    I’m sure he is sincere in his run for office, but the facts point to Linwood Mann as the best one for the job.

    I AGREE WITH THAT LINWOOD MANN WOULD BE THE BEST CHOICE FOR CITY COUNCILMAN. HE WILL WORK FOR THE CITIZENS AND WANTS TO KEEP TAXES DOWN FOR THE CITIZENS.
    IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS AND CONCERNS HE WILL FIND THE ANSWER FOR YOU ASAP.. HE WILL NOT MAKE A SHOW OUT OF IT, HE WILL TAKE CARE OF THE CONCERN THE RIGHT WAY. THANK YOU AND PLEASE RE-ELECT MR MANN!
