Online video of the 5 Town Council Candidates

In the first two weeks of April, Citizens First organized a series of conversations with each of the five candidates for town council. In our effort to increase citizen involvement, BURG has videotaped those conversations and is now making them availalbe online.

If you were not able to attend any of the discussions, the videos are now online. You can get to them from our homepage, or by clicking here. Each video is about 90 minutes long, and includes each candidate's response to the same set of questions, and then responses to questions from the audience.
