The need for debates > Rexroad.com

I have run for office in Woodland twice. Once for City Council and once for Supervisor. Both times I felt that we should have had even more debates.

Some of you might wonder why we need to have multiple elections since Sieferman and I debates probably eight times. That was great but it did not fully present all of our views on key issues. It also was a case where two sitting elected officials were able to discuss some of the issues of the day.

In the case of the upcoming City Council elections we need to have many debates. The people of Woodland need to know about the positions on candidates on some of the key issues.

Some of the issues I would like to understand positions on are:

1) When and how the Woodland General Plan should be updated?
2) How can the city take advantage of Measure A (ULL)?
3) Where do you stand on Clark Pacific going to the old Spreckles site?
4) How can technology help local government?
5) What is your position on Gateway II?
6) How do you want to position the city on the location and construction of the new courthouse?
7) What is your vision for the Spring Lake remainder area?
8) What the appropriate level of retirement benefits for city employees?
9) What role should the council play in the City Council-City Manager form of government?
10) What is your view on the role of local government in environmental policy?
11) Should the City of Woodland have district elections?
12) Explain your views on the future of the Yolo County Fairgrounds.
13) What is your view on the use of eminent domain?
14) How should Woodland meet demands for municipal water and how should it be funded?
15) What are the next steps for downtown?
16) Where does the Wayfarer Center fit in your vision for Woodland?
17) What is the city role in the Davis-Woodland bike path discussion?
18) What are the top recreational needs for Woodland?
19) How does Woodland deal with gang issues?
20) How can Woodland take advantage of being located next to a major research university?

I could go on for days.
