I think it was recorded. Haven’t checked to see where it an be viewed. Someone reading this will tell me. If it is available I’ll link to it. It consisted of four segments. City Council at large, City Council District candidates, School Board at-large, School Board District candidates.<\/p>\n

I have noticed that I’ve been cinching my belt up recently.<\/p>\n
