Gazette's Rockville City Election Coverage In One Place
Oct 27, 2009 16:06 - 1 Comment
The Rockville Mayor and Council Election is only a week away. As you research the candidates to make your choices, we here at >Rockville Central want to point you toward all the information available.
Joe Jordan, who is serving as Phyllis Marcuccio’s campaign manager, reminded us about Rockville City Election 2009 on the Gazette.net website.
In a nutshell, you will find links to:
- Short bio videos, about 2 minutes each
- The Gazette articles featuring each candidate
- Gazette news articles about the election going back to January 2009.
If you feel as though you haven’t been following the news closely enough regarding this election, it’s all a click away. Since they often don’t deliver the paper version of The Gazette to my driveway, I did some reading myself.
Cindy failed to point out that if you click on any candidate’s name you will bring up a page that contains the answers to a series of questions posed by the Gazette. The only candidate that didn’t submit answers is Susan Hoffmann. Instead of answers to questions, an earlier article that appeared in the Gazette comes up. If it’s Q&A, why should a news story written by a Gazette write take its place?I have a question for the Gazette…why are you making it so hard to find information buried away on your website. As of today there still is no link to the Rockvilleelection2009 webpage. And when you do get there, there is nothing that tells you about the Q&A and how to access it. I also wonder why no one else is writing about this, or about how hard it was to find things about the election on the city’s own website. It wasn’t until there were enough complaints that things were finally moved to a single location.Anyway, enjoy the videos and check out the Q&A…you owe it to yourselves and to the candidates who work hard at supplying the information.
