Dear Kevin,
Thank you for your interest in my blog. In response to the questions you posted on my previous blog entry:
1) I will answer questions from reporters in unedited live interviews (i.e. talk radio, long-format public affairs programs, live on-the-scene interviews, in studio, in recorded Commission meetings and public hearings). Questions that I answer on this blog may be submitted any way your heart desires, whether here, through e-mail, telephone, or in skywriting for that matter. The point is that my complete, unedited responses will be posted here on this blog for all the world to see.
2) I will answer constituents’ questions in whatever forum or format they choose and have been doing so since I declared my candidacy for this position early last year. As I pointed out, I am here to serve the public and am honored to have the opportunity to do so.
Let me remind you, once again, that you and everyone else, including members of the media, are welcome to attend our meetings, ask questions in those meetings on the official record, when I am a guest on talk radio programs including those already scheduled, and at Town Hall Meetings, again on the official record. The public will then have the opportunity to hear my complete, unedited, unfiltered responses. What I will not do is willingly participate in sound-bite journalism.
Thank you again for your interest in Ada County government.
Take care,
Sharon
