State of the Town and Candidate Forums
Below are details for the upcoming State of the Town Address and the known political forums:
- Wednesday, March 10 – 6:30 pm – Community Center
State of the Town Address and Citizen Submitted Photo Show Come join me and some of the Trustees during my last bi-annual State of the Town address. The forum will include a presentation on Erie’s progress over the last 6 years, projects that are ongoing, financial update, and opportunities/challenges for the future. There will be time for Q&A and a short slide show featuring people, places, and things that will showcase the wonderful community of the Town of Erie.
- Wednesday, March April 10 – 7:30 pm – Erie High School
The Spirit of Flight Center is sponsoring the Erie 2010 Political Candidate Forum. A trained Erie High School student moderator will read written questions which they have received from the public, and each candidate will be given one minute to answer. In addition, each candidate will be offered the opportunity to make a two minute opening statement, and a two minute closing statement. Students will benefit through academic learning and will receive community service hours.
- Monday, March 15 – 7:00 pm – Erie High School
The President of Cottonwood Vista HOA is sponsoring this candidate forum. This Town wide candidate forum will include opening statements, then 4 to 5 questions to the candidates (depending on time) with 2-3 minutes per candidate to respond, followed by closing statements. Questions will be focused on leadership abilities and issue resolution techniques, and not on the individual candidate’s position regarding a particular issue.
-Thursday, March 18 – 6:30 pm – Erie Middle School
League of Women Voters and the Erie Chamber of Commerce will co-sponsor this long standing tradition in Erie. Each candidate will present opening and closing statements (2 minutes each), and each candidate will have the opportunity to answer written questions from the audience, and visit with the audience after the forum. (refreshments provided).
Andrew,
I am assuming that this forum is housed by the town. If so, I would like to see you give out info on both sides of the bonanza issue.
Thanks,
Judi
Hi Judy,
This is a town event and as such it is a campaign free zone. The Trustees and I can answer questions about the ballot topics though.

I would like to attend one of the candicate forums but have prior committments for all 3 events. Will any of these be recorded so I can view them at a later date?
Thank you.
Margretta,
The Candidate Forum event on the 15th of March is not being taped, although i certainly like that option. If you or anyone that reads this blog has the ability to tape the forum, please let me know. My email is UGAand7@hotmail.com.
