Pepper, Heimlich web chats next week

Got a question for David Pepper or Phil Heimlich, the two men running for Hamilton County Commissioner?

You can ask them without leaving your desk next week at Cincinnati.com.

At noon Wednesday Cincinnati.com will host a live web chat with Pepper, a Democrat and former Cincinnati city councilman.

Come back Friday at noon to chat with Commissioner Heimlich, the Republican incumbent. Or you can e-mail your questions in advance to government/public affairs editor Carl Weiser at cweiser@enquirer.com.

How important is this county commission election? If Pepper wins, the three-man county commission – now 2-1 GOP – will be controlled by Democrats for the first time since 1962.

This idea is stupid

I-71 commuter's got it all wrong. This idea is great - as long as Carl Weiser doesn't censor tough questions.

We're watching this closely, Carl. If you or other Enquirer staff block the tough questions for either Heimlich or Pepper, you'll answer for it.

This is the biggest waste of time I have ever heard of. Enquirer, compliments on your good intentions, but no one is going to participate. If the Enquirer wants to get these 2 candidates together, hold a public debate. The future of the county is an important issue and does deserve attention and discussion. Although it deserves to be discussed in a serious and dignified manner.

Some people will do anything to see that others are involved in the electoral process. This includes cheapening and demeaning the process by groveling at the feet of tech-trends. If people are too lazy to leave their homes for a public debate about their future, then they don't deserve to be part of the process. Period.

Some people cannot attend public events, and the chat will leave a written record behind that is easy to review.

But yes, Weiser, we will be watching whether you let questions through -- or if you are playing the part of a campaign tool.
