ROCHESTER — The Rochester Concerned Taxpayers Association announces two “Meet The Candidates” forums. They invite all Rochester citizens to attend, including renters.
The RCTA invites incumbents and challengers for the city council and mayoral positions to the first forum on Monday, Oct. 19, from 6 to 9 p.m. at the VFW Hall, 43 Highland St. in East Rochester.
On Thursday, Oct. 29, the second forum will be held at the same location and the same time for the School Board and Police Commission candidates.
State Representative Warren Groen and his brother, Fenton, have agreed to moderate the two forums.
According to an RCTA press release, MetroCast will record these events and rebroadcast them on Rochester’s Government Channel 26 before Election Day.
At the Main Street Octoberfest event on Saturday, Oct. 10, the RCTA will have a table for the purpose of having Rochester residents write questions for the candidates of the various offices. Questions will be submitted to the moderators to ensure that duplicates are omitted and all questions are polite, diplomatic and relevant. You are also encouraged to write your questions before Oct. 10, and submit them to the RCTA via e-mail at inforochestertaxpayers.org or send them to the RCTA, 47 Walnut St., Rochester NH 03867. Questioners do not need to sign their names to the questions.
The RCTA encourages all Rochester citizens to participate in these informational and educational forums.
