Five-Part Question Posed to 2010 Vermont General Assembly Candidates regarding homelessness and affordable housing:
If the voters within your legislative district were to elect you to the seat within the Vermont General Assembly being sought, when it comes to addressing homelessness and affordable housing across the state, please answer the following five-part question:
- What priority would both of these matters hold within your set of legislative priorities?
- What concrete steps would you propose the state take to address these matters?
- What are the expected outcomes by which the state should measure the effectiveness of such proposals?
- What timelines would you propose be set for addressing such?
- How would you recommend the state fund such proposals?
Due to the extensive work involved in contacting various campaigns as well as compiling responses from the candidates, which I experienced somewhat when doing the 2010 Vermont Gubernatorial candidates version, this version will mainly be blogged up in the hope that candidates will avail themselves of the opportunity to answer such and make their answers known to voters within their district. In addition, if a given candidate has a blog or Website, they can list their responses to the questions there and/or can also provide their answers by posting a comment to this blog post.
Voters should also feel free to pose these as well as related questions to the candidates running for seats in either the state senate or house of representatives.
