PrintThe Columbia Missourian asked the five Columbia City Council candidates a series of questions in video interviews. The questions the candidates were asked are:
- What strategies do you believe are most promising for supporting existing businesses and for attracting new business, industry and jobs to town?
- What are your thoughts about the consultant's report that found low morale and problematic leadership in the Columbia Police Department?
- What are your perceptions about crime in Columbia?
- Responsible budgeting has been a consistent theme in the City Council campaign. If you are elected, what would be your budget priorities, and what areas do you believe are expendable or need attention?
- What more can the city do to ensure responsible growth?
- If elected, what will be your first priority upon entering office?
In a post on The Watchword, the Missourian's blog focused on public affairs, reporter Kip Hill explains the process of developing the questions.
