At this point there is a lot of information out there for the City Council race and candidates. I thought it would be useful to provide a list of links for those who are still trying to decide who to support. Of course, the most important thing to do is to VOTE!

There is still a chance to meet at least some of the candidates at the weekly "Meet the Candidate(s)" event at As You Wish Yogurt. The final meeting is Thursday evening, 11/1 from 7:30 to 8:30. This may start a little late because there is another event just before this one that may go over time a bit.
