I've gone to two candidate forums and haven't been impressed with the remaining candidates. If I had to pick two more I'd probably vote for Grayeb and Williams but I'd just as soon to spread the other two votes to Sandberg, Akeson and Summers). As for the others? Jim Stowell appears to be running for school board, George Azouri is clearly too inexperienced and Chuck Weaver hasn't managed to attend and/or stay and answer any questions (he has had to be at prearranged coffees; who knows - perhaps he will stay at your forum this week). Weaver has managed to get his automated phone calls started however - so so much easier than having to actually answer questions.kohlrabihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12501023958403108964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8235584057526658654.post-13203558174912416662011-03-15T18:16:18.382-07:002011-03-15T18:16:18.382-07:00Susan, that is true, but we need to change more th...Susan, that is true, but we need to change more than just one seat on the Council. Gary Sandberg is an exception to the Council, but he cannot do the job by himself. If we are to attain real change, we need more than one voice.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13238524449539806484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8235584057526658654.post-27257003472179364922011-03-14T09:41:27.096-07:002011-03-14T09:41:27.096-07:00You don't have to vote for five candidates.
Pe...You don't have to vote for five candidates.<br />Peoria uses Equal and even cumulative voting: In equal and even CV, voters cast votes for as many candidates as they prefer, and their votes are allocated equally among those candidates. In a five-seat race, voting for just one candidate would give that candidate five votes. Voting for two candidates would give each one 2.5 votes, and voting for four candidates would give each candidate 1.25 votes.kohlrabihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12501023958403108964noreply@blogger.com
