MATT DRISCOLL: EXCEPT FOR PILOT J. DOG >>>

Long before I made the cop-out decision to endorse my Chesapeake Bay Retriever in this year's Pierce County Executive race, but just about the time most of Tacoma's respectable blogs with political content were already doing the same thing, I distributed identical questionnaires to all of the candidates vying for the office. I figured it was a good way to compare how the very different candidates see the issues, and also a good way of testing their typing skills. Few people realize how important typing skills are when you're wearing the County Exec pants. (Ladenburg reportedly types 137 words per minute.)

I've compiled the questionnaires filled out by three of the four candidates running for County Exec (guess who didn't respond?), and posted them for all to see on our website. Check it out here.

Take it for what it's worth, and due to my limited techno-prowess, be prepared to scroll.
