Today’s questions in the Your Questions, Their Answers series over on Election ’07 deal with the issues of implementation of existing plans, the creation of new ones and the challenges that face whoever is victorious at the end of this race.

Implentation of existing plans
Their biggest challenge

Check out the entire series (it runs through Friday) and post your comments about their responses. We’d also encourage you to comment about last night’s mayoral forum on wiat.com over on our “What do you think about the candidates?” page.

We’re slowly adding features to the Election ’07 site. We’ve actually started using the blog this morning, asking what should be the most important question about the race:

Just what are the issues?

Yesterday we learned that William Bell and Ray Brooks will also be participating in our online forum, joining those that we announced yesterday.

Finally, later this morning we’ll also be adding an Election ’07 calendar to the site’s sidebar that will list upcoming candidate events. We only have two to start the list, so if you’re a candidate you may just want to send your schedule in to us so we can share it with everybody else.

NOTE: Hear their answers to your questions on our Election ’07 site!

We wanted to let you know what was going on with our proposed interviews with the mayoral candidates. We have currently received commitments from Valerie Abbott, Patrick Cooper and Carole Smitherman to participate in our podcast interviews. We have also been contacted by representatives from Mayor Kincaid’s campaign, though we have not been able to secure a commitment from him as of yet. It is our intention to begin posting their answers to your questions on our election site this coming Friday, September 14. We will have answers being posted by Monday, September 17.

If you’d like your candidate to participate, you may want to contact them and encourage them to do so.
