[4:00] What issues do you want the candidates to be discussing as they run for Worcester City Council this fall? Based on feedback, we identify some issues. We’ll ask any candidates we interview about them, and if any candidates discuss the issues in another forum, we’ll report on it.
We’ll formulate the questions in the coming days. Here are the issues:
- The proposed slots parlor and related economic development thoughts.
- Urban farming and related regulatory thoughts.
- Is Worcester a sustainable city?
- Personal vision for the city.
- Favorite character on The Wire?
- How many pushups can you do? Lifetime max?
- What do you carry with you every day?
