I am forwarding these recordings of candidate interviews via Lori Lander's breakfast meetings, in case you are still in need of information re the many candidates running for office this year. Ruth For City Council I will be giving my #1 vote to Paul Toner because he has been a strong, rational voice throughout the craziness of late and because he has always been very responsive to requests for an ear or assistance in our neighborhood.
