Instructions for candidates:
What follows is a data sheet and a brief questionnaire for all
candidates whose names will appear on the March 18 ballot.
Responses will be shared with readers of The Eagle.
We ask that all candidates, even those candidates who are
unopposed - complete the data sheet and questionnaire; we
believe voters can still gain valuable perspective learning these
candidates' take on the issues. Copy and paste the questions into a
word processor. Completed questionnaires may be sent to The
Eagle, PO Box 493, Cambridge, NY 12816 or by email to
eaglenews@gmail.com. If you submit a picture of yourself, we will
also print that along with the answers to the questionnaire.
