You heard it here first

Why wait for the Page News when you have Page County Watch?

At last night's Democratic Caucus, Larry Sours was selected as thecandidate to run against John Rust in District 2. Raymond Kite will run against Gerald Cubbage in District 4. There will be no Democratic Candidate in District 3.

The most important thing to me was that both Democratic candidates spoke out strongly against the flood plain issue and for property rights. They were willing to be pinned down about what they think. It was an important issue with the audience that the candidates they run not agree with this rezoning idea where you have to have a minimum of 10 acres to build a house. If it takes 10 acres to build a house, that means that the young people growing up here, basically can't stay. 10 acres costs at least $100,000 to $200,000 just for the land. For the board to pass that says, "go ahead and let our kids move on and move out, we won't have businesses or jobs here for them anyway"

Page County Watch, having members from both parties, can be EVERYWHERE. AND, we can report it faster than the newspaper. On Friday, June 1, there is a "meet the candidates" function for the Republicans at Browns restaurant at 7 p.m. Let's go meet them. And let's be sure we pin them down on what they think and believe about issues in the county. Don't let them get away with vague answers.

What questions would you like the candidates to answer? Post your questions as comments, and Page County Watch will try to set up a debate for all the candidates, somewhere, sometime.

Or, send your tips and information to Research@PageCountyWatch.org

Ms. Richmond you lost a lot when you restrict what the bloggers say. This is not freedom of speech, maybe you need to hand this over to someone else. It is very clear that you are bias.
