About the Questions
We welcome your comments on the questions. The questions appearing in this blog have been submitted by Ypsilanti city residents and interested parties. The YMDC will not inform the candidates of the actual questions to be used in the debate.
Each candidate will be asked to answer all questions asked during the debate 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.
Please Note
While YMDC hopes for questions that can be posed to all three candidates, and while these will be the kinds of questions asked at the debate, we realize that there are significant questions that need to be asked of each candidate. YMDC does not plan to remove those questions from the list of questions we receive. Where we draw the line, however, is with clearly confrontational, accusatory statements. The committee reserves the right not to post such items.Submit a Debate Question

Attend the Debate
Don't forget to mark your calendars for Thursday, July 27 at 7 p.m. You can observe the three candidates running for mayor at EMU’s McKenny Union, and you can submit a written question for the candidates at that time.About YMDC
The 2006 Ypsilanti Mayoral Debate Committee is a grassroots, nonpartisan, wholly volunteer organization made up of Ypsilanti city residents. The committee’s purposes are several:
First, the committee seeks to inform the public about mayoral candidate views and policy positions through a public debate.
Second, the committee hopes these efforts foster a sense of community and connectedness among city residents as they participate in the electoral process.
Last, the committee desires that this event will inspire future public forums where community members and voters will take an active role in defining public policy.
