How about a debate among those seeking to enter City Council - Special Election District 3

Producers and PCTV top administrators:

How about if you all -- or one of you -- schedule a debate among the candidates for the special election (date yet unknown) for Pittsburgh City Council district 3. The seat is to open at the first of the year, 2006, as Gene Ricciardi is leaving his post to be a DJ. So, a special election will be called. It might be as soon as mid-Feb, but as late at mid-March.

This special election does not give a lot of lead time.

Plus, I'm a candidate (Mark Rauterkus), as is Bruce Krane -- and he is IN the race too. So, this might be a show he'd do, as well, but we're both going to be in the hot seat, not the producers seat.

So, it looks like we need someone to step up and do a show -- or two -- on this election. Are there any takers out there? If so, I'd be happy to give you the insights. Call 412 298 3432 or email me: Mark -at- Rauterkus.com

Hi Fellow do-it-yourself media makers,

PCTV is a vital part of our community. I want to make it more and more important to the overall landscape of our community. And, I'm now engaged in a city council race -- so -- after I'm elected I can do something about our shared goals and dreams.

In an ideal way -- I'd like to hear about how PCTV could be -- should be -- and would be if there was more support for those efforts from City Council.

Sky is the limit.

And, I've got a stub of a wiki page devoted to this type of discussion at my Platform.For-Pgh.org site.

Let me know how to proceed -- just by posting it there yourself.
