The Paradise Valley residents running for town council discussed top municipal issues and topics at an Aug. 2 forum at Mountain Shadows, giving folks an opportunity to gain insight into the local candidates perspective before casting their vote later this month.
Uncontested mayoral candidate, Jerry Bien-Willner gave a statement on his likely appointment, before candidates Ellen Andeen, Jim Anton, Paul Dembow and Anna Thomasson answered questions ranging from the Ritz-Carlton Paradise Valley Resort to road work on Doubletree Road.
The Paradise Valley Town Council election is Tuesday, Aug. 28, and there are three town council seats up for grabs in addition to Mr. Bien-Willner filling the mayor’s seat, which is uncontested.
Mr. Dembow and Mr. Bien-Willner are both incumbents, while the other three running for council serve in volunteer capacities throughout the municipality.
