[Vision2020] candidate questionaire responses available

[Bill London]

Donovan is not correct in his description of actions of the V2020 candidate questionaire committee.
He states below that I overruled the majority of the questionaire committee and refused to question the local candidates. Just not true.

If you care about what happened....
Most of the committee did want to ask questions of the "lesser" county offices (coroner, treasurer, assessor, etc).  I did not, because I thought it was just too much work for our volunteer committee and too much work for the very helpful folks at First Step who would have to post the responses online.  I made it clear that I did not have the time to handle the questionaires for all those candidates.
However, since my opinion was in the minority, I agreed to help create the questions for the candidates for those lesser offices as well as the county commissioners, state reps, and the Congressional candidates.  The committee then agreed on questions for all the candidates, including those lesser offices.
The next step was to send the questions to the candidates, collect the responses, and send them to the First Step wizards.  I volunteered to take care of sending and posting the questions to the commissioner, state rep, and Congressional candidates.  I sent two emails to the committee asking for someone to do the same for the questionaires for the 4 lesser local offices.
Nobody from the committee responded.  So those questions were never asked.

  Chas,

  Nicely did participate in a local radio interview on KUOI, which probably took more time to respond and put him more at risk then Grant's written response. Bill Sali probably didn't respond because it is Moscow and Boise and CD'A are most likely his concerns.

  I honestly didn't think any of them would respond. That is why the majority of us on the V2020 committee wanted to ask a question to local candidates instead. But Bill London overruled the majority as chair of the committee and did what he wanted instead.

  But I do think that since Grant did respond he gets a smiley face next to his name. 

  Best,

  _DJA

    Neither Andy Hedden-Nicely nor Bill Sali (candidates for US
    Representative) managed to provide answers to the Vision2020
    questionnaire.

    Larry Grant participated in the democratic process. Larry Grant
    therefore has at least earned my attention when I participate in the
    election.
