The Courier and OceanPinesForum.com sponsor candidates’ debate

The Courier and OceanPinesForum.Com will sponsor a debate for candidates seeking election to the Ocean Pines Association Board of Directors. The event will be held on Saturday, July 16, 2005 at 9:30 a.m. in the Ocean Pines Library. This will be one of the final opportunities for candidates to establish their positions on issues for OPA voters. Invitations have been extended to all 10 candidates.

In explanation of why they believe this debate is a valuable addition to the election process the owner of OceanPinesForum.Com and the publisher of The Courier offer the following statements:

“It is apparent from discussions on the Forum there are a number of important issues in this election campaign. This debate will provide an opportunity for candidates to discuss these face-to-face before a live audience,” said Joe Reynolds, owner of OceanPinesForum.Com.

“The community can gain great insight regarding the candidates’ positions on issues during a spontaneous and candid debate. We are pleased to facilitate such an event,” explained Chip Bertino, publisher of The Courier.
