Panel Discussion: How Do We Evaluate Politicians?

With a local election for city commissioners in November and a national election just a year away, we ask the following question: How do we evaluate politicians? While the question may first appear to have obvious answers, focusing on a particular form of evaluation can often prove to yield questionable results. Do we focus on character when politicians have proven sufficient in masking their flaws? Or when good people with good intentions can often make terrible policy blunders? To help us wade through these issues we will have four panelists who have both researched this topic or have some practical first-hand experience. We invite the community to join us for this discussion, we hope see you all there!
