So, I'll post my response to the Absent Candidates thread here. Is anyone else having problems posting comments? Rob and Meta are able to just fine. ... I don't think you need an online debate to figure out who the OlyBlog candidate will be. Let's talk about community policing, please! It's only going to push Meta further from center. Meta, if you were scheduled to be there (according to the agenda, you were) you should have been there. You weren't. It says something, to me, about your desire to become mayor. A single vote can make a difference. Look at the primary results for proof. I don't want you to be our mayor. But, I'm not going to hide behind a proxy while doing it. Good day.

It's only going to push Meta

I don't want you to be our mayor.
It doesn't sound to me as though you need any help deciding, or that you have any interest in really discussing anything. But there may be others here who want to discuss some of the issues. I hope that you will allow that to happen without being a spoilsport.
CPTED
Submitted by Rob Richards on Sun, 09/30/2007 - 5:40pm.This is what I mean when I bring up community policing as a campaign issue. You should look it up before you cast huge assumptions on Meta. Meta has been involved in CPTED stuff since the idea first came to town, so has the PBIA, which Meta attends meetings with. I don't know what you think community policing is, but it's obviously not what Meta is working on. The basic idea of CPTED is to take a place, such as an alley, that is notorious for unwanted activity, and turn it into a space that anybody and everybody wants to hang out in. Right now a group that I'm trying to organize is interested in another CPTED type project, the daylighting of Moxlie Creek. Doing that would take a dead zone part of town and breathe retail and citizen life into it. That's the idea of community policing.
I'm not sure why you're holding Meta to a higher standard than Doug Mah in all of this, but he's missed a lot of events also, for one, and for two, if we were to talk policing issues with him it would move him away from the center as well, only to the right. Maybe that's where you want your next mayor, the majority of Olympia doesn't, and we'll find that out in November.
