Suggestions please!
I am in the process of formulating a list of questions to ask of the candidates that have entered the city council race for Shelly Sekula-Gibb's old seat. I have a few issues that I want to touch upon, but I'm throwing it open to you, my readers (both of you!), to suggest things you'd like to see asked and answered by those who would represent the voters on City Council.
Issues I plan on touching on:

I don't live in Houston, so I don't really have any interest in what goes on in an area in which I have no voting privileges. It especially irritates me that Houston can cram IAH noise down our throats, but we have no voice in how they run the airport or ruin property values adjacent to Bush International. (Tho I do pray daily that a plane will drop on top of NHC!) muahahahaa.
A question to ask of all candidates:
Can you "prove up" your endorsement list?
What were your greatest failures in the past 20 years? Successes?
