To BizPAC: Can you share with us the questionaire that you used in your evaluation?
Received an answer from Katy Stafford, Director of Government Affairs at our Chamber: “The questions are created by BizPac and are an internal document, so we are not at liberty to distribute them.” So I guess it’s possible that one of the questions may have been, “Do you support our present mayor Tom Henry?” ?????
