Another packed

house is expected for next week's political forum in Senoia.

The event is

set for the Freeman Sasser Building in the city's park at 7 p.m. and is

sponsored by the Senoia Area Business Association. Local newspaper editor

Tray Baggarly will moderate the forum.

The forum gives

city residents a final look at the candidates before the city elections

Nov. 6.

Candidates

appeared earlier this month at the Senoia Senior Center to field questions

from residents.

In the last

two months, the city has garnered regional headlines for everything from

taping of phone calls to not having enough council members to hold a meeting.

In the race

for mayor, Pam Youngblood is stressing her experience in city government,

including her positions on the City Council and the Planning Commission.

She favors

managing the growth and working together.

The other candidate,

Dianne Cleveland, also said she favors controlled growth and is adamantly

opposed to quarter-acre lots. Cleveland also addressed Youngblood's call

for her to resign last month over taping phone conversations and said

the city should not be pulled apart, which is why she chose to run for

mayor.

The City Council

race is more crowded with nine candidates seeking the four spots.

Residents will

choose two candidates from Robert Hannah, Pat Tunnell, Ed Roberts and

Arlevia Gates to fill the positions of incumbent Hannah and Cleveland's

positions.

In the race

to replace Councilman Darren Ratajski, who resigned in September, voters

will choose between Kenneth Davis and Robert Belisle.

The final council

position is the race for Pam Youngblood's council seat. Youngblood resigned

when she decided to run for mayor. The three candidates are former mayor

Lester Mann, Bill Wood and Ernie Jackson, Jr.
