The Dryden Grange will be sponsoring a candidates forum at the Dryden Fire Station - 26 North Street, Dryden (map) - this Thursday night, October 22nd, starting at 7:30pm. The League of Women Voters will be moderating.
They'll introduce candidates in uncontested races, but the bulk of the session will be about the contested races - Mike Lane vs. Jim Crawford for the County Legislature seat on the east side of Dryden, and Jason Leifer, Simon St.Laurent (yes, that's me!), Steve Stelick, and Deb Shigley for two Town Board seats.
Each candidate will make a three minute opening statement, and then the audience may ask questions. Questions are limited to two minutes, addressed to a specific candidate or to all. The answers are limited to two or three minutes depending on the number of participants.
Should be an exciting night!
