Candidates for Gilbert Town Council seats give opening statements during an editorial board meeting hosted Monday, April 25, 2011.
Are Gilbert's budget challenges born from a spending problem, or a revenue problem? Are tax increases off the table? Can luring new business solely fit the revenue bill?
Gilbert has been praised for its services and quality of life - has the slowing economy caused cracks? Are there areas in which the town could serve citizens better?
What are your ideal qualities in the next town manager?
What can the Council do to preserve the Gilbert Days rodeo? Is maintaining a farming/ranching heritage important to the town? Should it be?
Where, in your eyes, was the breakdown in the Zinke land deal? What needs to be done to ensure it doesn't happen again?
Is there an issue that we haven't discussed that is near and dear to you?
Gilbert Town Council candidates give their closing statements.
