<BR>
Also, I think the response – or not! – of candidates speaks volumes as to their seriousness about being a candidate, and concern for the environment. <BR>
<BR>
Just realized there are a few candidates who only listed phone numbers and they haven’t been called – like Claudette Millar and Jane Brewer. Should we bother? <BR>
