Candidate forums are going on throughout the city. You're encouraged to attend at least one in your community, so as to get a firsthand view of the prospective City Council candidates for your district.
Should this prove impossible, however, you can still review the transcripts of previous community forums. Channel 8's "Denver Decides" coverage not only has made these forums viewable online, but also is beginning to provide forum transcripts, enabling potential voters to review a two-hour forum in just 15-20 minutes.
Currently online are transcripts from both the Council District 7 forum (West Washington Park Neighborhood Association, March 14th) and the Council District 8 forum (Colorado Black Women for Political Action, March 20th).

Videotaping prohibited at campaign forum
Apparently it's even harder to get issue-based information out to folks than I'd earlier thought.
Gerald Trumbule from Denver Direct recently hatched a plan to provide the public with more information about the election.
His blog entitled "Hatchett Axes Videotaping at Candidate's Public Forum" not only describes the situation, but also captures the controversy on video.
Who is Karen Hatchett and why was this effort quashed? Visit Denver Direct to find out.
Update (3/24): The community forum in question is now online at Denver 8's Denver Decides website. View videotape of the entire forum here.
