Questions For Local Candidates

 

________________________________________________________________________

As part of E-City Beat’s continuing effort to help our readers make informed decisions as voters we have sent questionnaires to all local candidates and will publish their responses starting the week after Labor Day.

Here’s the list of local state legislative candidates on the ballot this November and the four questions we asked:

1. What do you see as the top two issues facing Montana and Cascade County in the next 5 years and why are you the best candidate for the district you’re running in to tackle those issues?
2. Identify at least one issue you see as an opportunity to work across party lines on and describe how you will do that to accomplish what’s best for your constituents.
3. Why is Cascade County/Great Falls so far behind other Montana cities and counties in growth and economic development and what do you plan to do about it as a legislator?
4. Do you think we need some form of a sales tax or other solution in Montana to help offset property taxes and why or why not?
