Fowler said the CACC has invited the four candidates — Donald Gardner, Jacqueline Goodine, Craig Green and incumbent Richard Engels — to participate in a forum that will provide each candidate an opportunity to tell the electorate what they anticipate providing the citizens of Presque Isle.
‘The moderator for the evening will ask each candidate a series of questions relating to issues that are facing the Presque Isle City Council,” said Fowler.
CACC staff are in the process of collecting questions to be posed to the panel at the event.
