[RP TownTalk] notification of Municipal election candidates

[Dwight Holmes]

in an earlier TownTalk email, Alan Thompson posted this link and info on the
town's policy re "electioneering" on this e-mail list: "The council passed
specific guidelines for electioneering on the e-mail lists in April, 2007,
which you can read at
http://riverdale-park.org/pipermail/towntalk/2007-April/001549.html
" <http://riverdale-park.org/pipermail/towntalk/2007-April/001549.html>

In perusing these guidelines, I noticed the following language (quoted in
full, below)  that states that the town must notify the public via the
town's website not only the names but also the contact info, etc., of all of
the candidates running for office in the upcoming election.

As of this writing, I don't see any notification on the website as to who
the candidates are; nor has there been the mentioned notification of same
via the Town Announce e-mail list.  (Lou King, Deputy Election Judge, did
post the names here on TownTalk last night, but only the names.)  Thanks.

Here's the relevant paragraph:

"The list administrator or town staff will post information pertaining
to the election to the Town's official website and do so in
conjunction with the public posting of the notice of candidates. This
posting shall include the full list of candidates whose qualifications
have been verified by the judges of election in accordance with §29-12
of the Riverdale Park Town Code. The posting on the Town website shall
include a candidate's name and street address. In addition, if
provided by the candidate, contact information will be included in the
posting. Contact information is limited to a telephone number, an
e-mail address, and a web site address. A notice will be posted to
Town Announce stating the availability of this information."
