After candidate introductions, each candidate will have the opportunity to answer two questions which will be provided prior to the evening. The remainder of the evening will be devoted to questions from the audience. Every candidate will be given an opportunity to answer each question. Audience questions will be solicited in writing and screened for clarity and duplication. At the conclusion of the evening, each candidate will give his/her closing remarks.

TOPTA supports Tracey Haggett-Sloan for Potsdam Town Council

At TOPTA's first annual meeting held Wednesday October 14, Board of Directors announced the unanimous support of Tracey Haggett-Sloan for Potsdam Town Council.

Town Councilmen Mike Zagrobelny and Town Supervisor Marie Regan have publicly stated that there is no problem with the current assessment process and that they have no control over the assessor. The only way to effect change in the assessment process is to change the Board one seat at a time.

Tracey Haggett-Sloan is the candidate for change. Visit Tracey's website http://www.tehaggett-sloan.com/ to learn more information about her candidacy.

Vote Tracey Haggett Sloan for Potsdam Town Council on November 3.
