Subject: Ogden Channel 17 - Meet the Candidates

Dear Candidate:

Ogden City and Channel 17 have chosen to vary from the live call-in show format this month. The replacement will be a "Meet the Candidates Night" at 6 p.m., Sept. 1. held in the Council Chambers. This format will give Ogden Citizen's an opportunity to get to know their Candidates. This is not a debate. The show’s usual host and former KUTV Anchor and reporter Doug Jardine, will be prepared with generic questions for all candidates. At present we plan on taping the show and replaying it up until the general election as well as making the complete production available on the internet, other than adding titles, an intro and music the program will be shown in its entirety and will be just under 90 min.

We also are planning for two debates following the primary election. These debates are planned for Sept 22 and Oct. 6. The times, locations and moderator for these events currently are pending verification. We hope you will mark these dates on your calendar and plan to attend as these events also will be broadcast on Ogden Channel 17. We will notify you soon after we have pinned down the times and locations for these events.

Thank you,

Bill Francis

Subject: Ethics and Business Campaign Contributions

Dear Mr Schroeder,

I have included the copy of your "Ethics" checklist as you requested. Please also note my personal rebuttal to the absurd suggestion that business campaign contributions are unethical.

As for the other items on your checklist, I am comfortable committing to them because I believe that each one comprises the spirit of our current campaign finance laws and ordinances, which I have been committed to long before your request.

"My personal committment to all citizens and to myself regarding ethics is simple and pricipled, I will obey the spirit of the law and when a gray area appears either because there is no law or the law does not address an issue adequately, I will always make the choice that I believe is the most honest and open."

Thank you for the interest in our community. It is always good to have citizens willing to express concerns and have honest public dialog.

Sincerely,
Brandon Stephenson
