Re: City Council Filings

Dear visionaries:

As of 4:30 p.m. today, six candidates had filed nominating positions for three positions on the
City Council.  They are, in alphabetical order:
Aaron Ament
Steve Busch
Jack Hill
Evan Holmes
Mike Thomason
Travis Tonn

A story in today's Daily News (page 3A, I believe) gives brief biographical sketches of the
first five candidates.  Mr. Tonn must have turned in his petition after the Daily News reporter
checked this morning.

The deadline for filing is 5 p.m. on Thursday (Sept. 23).  I know of at least one other
candidate who is circulating a petition.

So, unlike the council election of two years ago, there indeed will be a contested race.  I look
forward to a spirited discussion of the issues facing Moscow on this list and in other forums.
