No Responses from John Piazza and Steve Reis

I sent an email out this morning to all candidates in an effort for everyone understanding the process requesting responses to my questions from Steve Reis and John Piazza. I wonder if they are pondering if I am a real person or not, which has been used as a reason for not responding to me in the past by people.

I understand my email was never received by TJ as his email address bounced back as being rejected by his email systems domain. His responses while important for people to see are not as vital as others since as we all know TJ should win the election rather easily, it is the luxury of running unopposed, not a dig against anything TJ stands for or has stated throughout the election process.

I have received responses from all candidates except Steve Reis and John Piazza. I'll assume they both received the email I sent as it is how they were notified of the candidate forum they were both in attendance at.

Steve & John,
I understand my questions may not be viewed as important for you to answer since I do not live in your ward and will be unable to cast a vote in your favor, if I viewed you as the right candidate. Both of your opponents have responded to my questions and have their responses on my blog for their prospective voters to point to, they may also point to the lack of responses from either one of you. I heard both of you make reference at the candidate forum for the need for a council that can work together to meet the needs of our community. The community needs to know what your stance is on issues facing our city before they choose to elect you.

I can assure all candidates one thing. If you are elected I will continue to occasionally send emails and ask questions regarding your actions as an aldermen. While you are elected by the people of your particular ward you do represent and vote on behalf of the entire community. You as an elected official have an obligation to respond to questions people may have and ideas they may share with you.

If you feel the need to, email me back with any concerns you have regarding getting responses back to me.

Thanks
