Thursday’s candidate forum in Dayton allowed four council and three mayoral candidates to reveal their reasons for running and their plans for office, but the question and answer session also revealed the concerns of residents who want to keep Dayton’s small town charm while fighting off the sleepy stupor that can settle on a bedroom community. Questions hit on a variety of topics but centered on a few key areas: taxes, natural gas, healthy growth, good businesses for Dayton, promotion of Dayton for tourism and general town upkeep and management. Approximately 50 residents attended the nearly two-hour forum held at the Tongue River Valley Community Center, which was sponsored by the Sheridan County Chamber of Commerce Governmental Affairs Committee. Candidates for mayor included Councilmen Bob Alley, Norm Anderson and Dennis Wagner. Candidates for Dayton Town Council included Chris Smith and Jeremy Smith, no relation, Eric Lofgren and Clifford Reed. Council candidate Craig Reichert was unable to attend the forum due to a previous engagement. Following are a few questions and select candidate answers. - See more at: thesheridanpress/?p=23297#sthash.FCwV676N.dpuf
