This will NOT be a debate. We will use our &#8220;Friendly Forum&#8221; format begun more than a decade ago by MICA&#8217;s late past president Tom Talbot. Each candidate will have a certain number of minutes &#8211;tbd, usually about ten minutes &#8212; to speak and perhaps answer a few questions from members in good standing.

Unfortunately they had to cancel their July presentation at the last minute.<\/p>\n<p>Because the NYS Pine Barrens Commission has determined this to be a Development of Regional Significance, we will probably schedule a Special Meeting in the larger Community Room at Longwood Public Library for this important discussion.
