<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>It's election time in Moscow....The candidates are
beginning to announce for various races and the autumn filing date
approaches. With the mayor and four council candidate positions open this
year, it's bound to be an interesting campaign.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The V2020 Candidate Questionaire Committee has, for
the last four elections, provided an on-line source of the candidates' views on
specific issues. If you would like to participate in the committee's work
this year (creating the questions, communicating with the candidates, etc),
please contact Bill London at <A

four years are preserved on-line at <A
