Niel,
With all due respect, i believe by reading our statements, you will easily see what everyone stands for and what everyone is willing to accomplish if elected on the Council.
I don't see the point for candidates to start arguing against one another; what we are all looking forward to is to be able to better represent the NCSG and its values.
I am sure our dear membership will be able to make their choice, not based on our differences but on what we said we want to accomplish. And then, they will be able to judge us based on our statement.
