ABOUT 30 people attended the "Meet the Candidates" forum at the
New Norfolk District Football Clubrooms on Saturday afternoon. Organiser Ngaire Glover
introduced former Glenorchy City Council general manager Frank Pearce as
the moderator and thanked Elaine Dwyer and Jacky Whitehead for
providing afternoon tea.
Mr Pearce kept the proceedings running smoothly
throughout the afternoon. A draw was conducted to determine the order
in which the candidates would speak. Each candidate was given five
minutes to state their case, followed by five minutes for questions. Afternoon tea was served after the nine councillor candidates had spoken.
The second session provided an opportunity for the two mayoral candidates and three deputy mayoral candidates to have their say and face questions.
