We've got some colorful characters running for mayor, so it's been an interesting race to watch. In Sunday's Vision section, we've pulled together a fun little quiz with trivia questions about the candidates. See how you do.
You can start studying up for the test, but that is no easy task. There is a huge reservoir of knowledge available about the candidates this year. They have answered many questions from The Bee, and their answers are posted on our Web site. Click here. There is also video of all the candidates on our site. The candidates also have their own Web sites with music, videos, policy papers, the names of their dogs, pictures of the family. They are on MySpace and YouTube. This is a new generation of mayor candidate, that is certain.
So take out your Sharpies Sunday morning, and spend a few minutes with the quiz. And just to reward you for being a faithful reader of the OpinionTalk blog, here is a crib sheet for one of the questions:
Which candidate is not a current or former member of the Fresno Ctiy Council?
A. Jeff Eben
B. Henry T. Perea
C. Jerry Duncan
D. Tom Boyajian
E. Mike Dages
See? That's not so hard. Let us know how you do! (The answer, by the way, is A.)
Anyone see Jeff Eban's TV commericial? How corny is that?
Thanks Jeff for helping the other candidates.
I could name 7 candidates off the top of my head (the 5 you listed, plus Swearingen and Boswell). I guess I have some cramming to do.
