Sebastopol City Council Candidates Forum at Grange - Video - Sept 28

The Sebastopol Grange and KOWS-FM were kind enough to host a City Council Candidate Forum yesterday. There was a good turnout and everybody got to see who the candidate are and how they plan to help lead the city.

All 4 candidates (Jonathan Greenberg, Craig Litwin, Neysa Hinton, and Michael Carnacchi) showed up.

The covered lots of topics including the proposed hotel, boycotting CVS, their contributors, banning GMOs and Roundup along with the perennial topics of housing and traffic.

I've made a YouTube playlist of the debate, broken up into pieces by question. Watch them all or just the ones you are interested in. You can select the topic from the list on the right side of of the Youtube window. Let us know what you think!

Remember, 2 seats are open.

Appreciations to Barry for capturing the humor and good-spirited cooperation by all 4 candidates for Sebastopol City Council at the Grange public forum. Please notice the contrast to the bickering among supporters for the two remaining candidates for 5th District Supervisor.
