FYI: I was invited to be one of the community leaders to ask a question, but it looks like I won't be able to make it. If I was going to ask a question, it would have been the following:

"Mayor Ravenstahl, you were quoted in the Post-Gazette as saying you considered yourself to be 'socially conservative.' In that same article Councilman Jim Motznik said that he thought you were 'pro life.' Can you please tell me if you are anti choice and if that's why you voted against the Bubble Zone ordinance and how your social conservatism would affect you postions as mayor?"

(The League is looking for some dope data entry people! Wanting to volunteer, but hate talking to peeps about politics? Shoot Nish at nish@indyvoter.org an email with your availability.)
