| I have no idea what this is about. I thought positions were determined in the new charter to be "councilor" (no more alderman) "mayor" etc. Am I missing something? |

| Candidates will no longer be placed in alpha order. The names are being drawn to determine their order on the ballot. |

Wow, thank you. It's about time. I've heard that people first on ballots had something like a 5 point advantage. I don't get how the ballot order effects people like that, but it happens. |

| Simple, they check off the first name if they don't know the candidates. |

| More important, IMHO. Do we have a final list of who is running and for what seats? I thought that it being such a slow news week that at least one of the papers would have printed the list. |

Each ward is suspect to me. If I didn't know any better I would swear this was fixed. |
