Elwood tax group meets the candidates

Ten candidates were on hand Wednesday night when the Elwood Taxpayers Association held its annual "Meet the Candidate Night" at the Elwood Middle School.

Candidates were given two minutes to make introductory remarks, and then they answered questions from the group for nearly two hours before giving concluding statements.

Here are the opening comments from the four candidates for the Town Board. (If you jump from one video player to another, turn the earlier one off.)


Susan Berland is a Democratic incumbent.


Bill Dowler is a Republican challenger.


Glenda Jackson is an incumbent Democrat.


Deborah Poulos is a challenger on the Republican and Conservative lines.

Tomorrow we'll post video of statements by the candidates for town clerk and receiver of taxes. On Saturday, we plan to post statements by candidates for the county's 16th legislative district.
