Mr Bishop, it would seem that very few people in Edwardsville know anything about you. Would it be possible for you to speak on your feelings about a couple of issues ?

1 I have this same question in an open format to all but, what would your feelings be concerning the video taping of business meetings ?

2 What is your opinion of consolidating the fire departments of Edwardsville, Bonner Springs and KCK ? It seems you mentioned in the newspaper that you thought both the police and fire departments needed to be larger. How would this be funded and is consolidation an option in your mind ?

3 With some many people not knowing who you are, what would your approach be in developing the city of Edwardsville ? Do you already have a relationship with any of the others that would be serving with you or with anyone who has served in the past ?

Of course these are only questions that come to my mind, if there is a particular subject that you would like to address we would be very interested in anything you might have to say.
