The YMDC will post your submitted mayoral debate questions on this blog.
About the Ypsilanti Mayoral Debate:
Eastern Michigan University’s McKenny Union hosts the debate on Thursday, July 27, 2006. The event starts promptly at 7 p.m. will run until 9 p.m.
The first 60 minutes of the debate will be devoted to candidate answers to questions submitted to the YMDC. Ypsilanti city residents and interested parties are encouraged to submit questions.
The debate’s next 30 minutes will contain questions submitted in writing at the event itself.
For the final 30 minutes there will be two-minute addresses by candidates running for other city races (city council and county commission).
Questions that concern ward-specific issues will be chosen as will issues concerning the City in general.
A sampling of debate questions received will be posted through this website in a blog format. We welcome your comments on the questions. The YMDC will not inform the candidates of the actual questions to be used in the debate, however.
Each candidate will be asked to answer all questions asked, and will be given a maximum of three minutes to respond to each question. The moderator is given the authority to keep time and to gently inform candidates when their answer-time has expired.
