Candidates respond to J-W questionnaires

Questions ranging from where they stand on smoking to their feelings about growth, taxes and even fireworks are among inquiries made recently of candidates on a questionnaire developed by the Journal-World for Lawrence’s nine city commission candidates.

All of the commission candidates responded to the questionnaires, which were handed out after the first candidate forum.

World Online’s staff took the responses from the questionnaire and build a candidate selector tool, which can help voters in making their picks in Tuesday’s primary election.

The top six finishers in the primary will move on to the April 5 general election.
