The current method has <br />been suceessftil for years. <br />1 1 \V,Lktlt time to beconic acquainted with the serious and viable candidates. <br />The primary process winnows out these who cannot or will not make a connection with the voters. <br />3. 'nic last time we had inure than two candidates for a particular (in this <br />case mayoral) election, the winning candidate accrued less than 35% of the vote. Experience has now shown us <br />that the result is deplorable. I do not want to risk a repeat. <br />This list is by no me,,c1ns exhaustive. <br />Thank YOU I`cr YOUT- effort. Hopefully, task force will have a fruitful eritccnze ... though with no binding vote <br />to be taken any positive outcome is in j eporady. <br />John Rhody <br />
