			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>On June 17th, the Coalition for Queens, along with a number of other groups, hosted a Tech Policy Forum at the Museum of the Moving Image.</p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Update #2: &#8211; The &#8220;Most Important Question&#8221;</span></strong></p>
<p>Candidates answer the &#8220;most important&#8221; questions &#8211; what phone and service provider do they use, and what is their favorite app?</p>
<p><iframe width="584" height="329" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/vaCn9c0cAB0?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Update:  Anthony Weiner and the SNAP Challenge</span></strong></p>
<p>After the forum we spoke with Anthony Weiner about the SNAP, or Food Stamp, Challenge that he is participating in.  The challenge is to live for one week with all spending for food and meals limited to the average benefit amount for city residents enrolled in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program.  That&#8217;s about $31 per person.</p>
<p><iframe width="584" height="329" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/KbirKAjRoKY?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>
<p>We&#8217;ll start our report with this exciting snippet in which Anthony Weiner&#8217;s forum standing strategy is stymied.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Last night, El Diario, the Hispanic Federation and Hostos Community College hosted a mayoral forum with seven Democrats, two Republicans and one Independence Party candidate.  It was quite an evening.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Update #3</strong></span>:  <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Quinn v. de Blasio</span></strong></p>
<p>In this excerpt, Christine Quinn and Bill de Blasio engage in a pointed discussion of their respective views of their accomplishments.</p>
<p><iframe width="584" height="329" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/qygOd_5pzJ4?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Update #2</strong></span>:  <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Weiner on his House Immigration Subcommittee Work</span></strong></p>
<p>In this excerpt, Anthony Weiner is asked what he accomplished as a member of the House Subcommittee on Immigration.  He demonstrates his substantial speaking skills, giving a lengthy description of acting as &#8220;an advocate&#8221; and pledging to be &#8220;an advocate on immigration&#8221; just &#8220;as Mayor Bloomberg does on guns.&#8221; When pressed by the moderator on what he has to show from his time on that subcommittee, Weiner says that &#8220;every member of the Democratic caucus &#8230; didn&#8217;t get much done&#8221; during that time.  He does, however, assert that he &#8220;tilled the fields&#8221; and &#8220;fought really hard.&#8221;</p>
<p><iframe width="584" height="329" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/0-7Np_qq_xU?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Update</strong></span>:  <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>O, Alma Mater, glorious &#8230;</strong></span></p>
<p>In this brief excerpt, the candidates focus on their love for a particular high school.  Really.  Well worth watching.</p>
<p><iframe width="584" height="329" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/A58nwxVAyZg?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>
<p>In our initial report the candidates discuss the city&#8217;s solid waste disposal plan.  It&#8217;s a unique exchange in several ways.  First, more than any other forum or debate segment that I can recall, the candidates engage in a long and unusually involved discussion with each other.  Second, there are some clear personal frictions that emerge.  Finally, there are a few loopy moments.  All in all, this segment displays more candidate personalities more effectively than any other moment that I&#8217;ve seen so far in the campaign.</p>

<p>Here is our initial report, covering two charter school questions asked at the forum, and including the complete answers of each candidate.  Despite being asked as &#8220;yes or no&#8221; questions, the responses are fairly lengthy and we thought it worthwhile to give you the complete answers.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Tonight the New York City Bar Association hosted a mayoral candidate forum.  The forum, moderated by NY1&#8242;s Errol Louis*, featured separate panels of four Republican and Independence Party candidates and four Democratic Party candidates.</p>
<p>This excerpt has the &#8220;Lightning Rounds&#8221; in which Errol Louis posed a series of yes/no questions to each panel.  He asked four questions of the Republican/Independence candidates and the same four, plus one additional question, to the Democratic candidates.  (It&#8217;s possible that I&#8217;ve missed a fifth question due to a recording or editing glitch, but that doesn&#8217;t appear to be the case.)  Among the notable answers, all eight candidates indicated that they are in favor of settling the Central Park Five case.</p>

<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Update</strong></span>:  In this excerpt George McDonald criticizes Anthony Weiner and Vito Lopez, and laments the lack of voter participation as enabling improper conduct by elected officials.</p>
<p><iframe width="584" height="329" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/lvuKAOmzwyQ?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>
<p>*  This was the ninth mayoral forum of 2013 hosted by Errol Louis.  Be sure to <a href="http://www.newyorktrue.com/errol-louis-on-the-plethora-of-forums/">watch our interview</a> with Errol Louis discussing the enormous number of candidate forums and whether they are a productive exercise.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Last night, <a href="http://www.unionsettlement.org/">Union Settlement Association</a> and several other groups hosted an East Harlem Mayoral Forum.  Seven candidates participated: Sal Albanese, Adolfo Carrion, Bill de Blasio, John Liu, George McDonald, Erick Salgado and Bill Thompson.</p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Update</span></strong>:  This excerpt covers a question concerning job training, with the complete candidate answers. (George McDonald arrived during this question/answer and was not invited to answer this question.)</p>
<p><iframe width="584" height="329" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/BgJN8Tb0S1I?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>For our initial report, here are the two &#8220;lightning rounds&#8221; conducted by moderator Errol Louis.  In the first lightning round, held mid-forum, all seven candidates participated.  The second lightning round was held at the end of the forum, with four candidates remaining.  All of the questions cover substantive policy issues, and the last may be the most surprising.</p>
