Yesterday, we ran through the candidates for the mayor's office. Today, we're looking at the 22 people who've stepped forward to run for spots on city council.
Curious to know who's guiltily reading a Dan Brown novel or how many candidates say they are reading a book by Barack Obama? Wondering how many Captain Kirks we could wind up with on council? (Which leads one to wonder if council can handle that much Shatner?) The answers to these questions and many more are below....

when you say Cr Hutchinson "was unfortunately not able to respond" are they the words she used?
Nope. They're mine. I'm just trying to get the point across that she has a valid reason.
Actually, as Stephen W points out in the print issue, all three of the non-responders deserve to get cut some slack as no one was given a tremendous amount of time to respond.
That said, big thanks to everyone who got their answers in.
