The questions came out of the 'questionare' that was questions gathered from the community. Then it became "lets just use the same questions since we don't have many new ones". At this point I'd prefer just a short essay from candidates with information i could use to select who to vote for. If we just make it an essay with suggestions of what to include, I think it might be more engaging than just a sentence or two on specific questions. Just a thought. kevin
