Readers may submit questions (one question per reader) to candidates concerning four areas: economic development, education, energy and local issues. Questions may be submitted via email (sterry@ starbeacon.com) or bring them into the office, 4626 Main Ave. by Monday.
“We want to get to the heart of the issues,” Publisher Jim Frustere said.
