Lind says the key to these events is the
accessibility--and while its a great educational tool for the public, the forum
can be equally advantageous for the candidates, adding that "...for some of the candidates its the
first time getting out of the gate
getting an opportunity to announce themselves and let us know who they
are "
Hiding in the crowd, fourth ward alderman Carl
Wasco was on hand for the event. He says even though he's not running for
another term, events like these are extremely important--adding that for
candidates this isn't an easy process "...Its not an easy process but its
something that needs to be done--you just got to tell people how you feel,
listen more than you talk and represent your ward the best way you can ."
and even though there's
dozens of candidates running for 14
aldermanic spots he says there's one in particular he's keeping his eye on "..I'm
going to pay a little more attention to
the fourth ward ."
After all he says come April, he'll be just another concerned voter.
