From: Ring, Tom IhNNOWNWOMENEW] <br />Sent: Thursday, , 2003 11 -.08 AM <br />To: Icaro I . <br />Subject. Primary <br />Ms. Curti: <br />I am a mcniber of the Primary Election Task Force bUt will be unable to attend tonight's meeting because <br />conflicts with the Kindergarten roundup at Park-view School. <br />I AM STRONGLY III' FAVOR OF CONTINUING PRIMARY ELECTIONS. Having many candidates run it <br />gencral election diffuses the vote to too great an extent. For example, with five candidates in a general election <br />Lill 0firCMI coUld conccivably Ise elected with joist over t wenty- percept of the vote. <br />Elect' someone vith less <br />tlmn ole- fcurtx the v ote WOUld show a lack of coni unity <br />consensus and resUlt In little or no acknowledged <br />legitilliacy, Not a good end for the cllndldate /official, of the community. This is not an extreme example in view <br />F <br />of I oseville's last city eoL11161 clection process that had, I think, at least six candidates. <br />Y011 have lily pemlission to read this message ,"It tonight's meeting. I also understand the view will he included <br />in cXny report to the City Councl 1. <br />I`ll, sorry I c- „innot attend tonight, and want to thank YOU for YOUr willinariess to take comments by altenlat' <br />ive <br />`rr <br />rl” E Iz <br />
