Cascade Senior and Community Center Holds Meet and Greet for Cascade's City Council Candidates

Cascade residents were invited to meet the City Council candidates at the Cascade Senior and Community Center on Thursday, October 26. The event was open to the public for the purpose of meeting the candidates face-to-face. Many of the attendees were already friends or at least acquainted with the candidates, as is to be expected in a small town :)

There were five candidates who attended the event: Miranda Clark, Pam Marquis, Jezreel Neujahr, Kristin Riley, and Ralph Schnider. They were asked questions such as "How do you see Cascade as it is now?" and "What do you see for the future of Cascade?"

One of the issues that was discussed at this event was Cascade's expansion and the availability of affordable housing, upon which it was unanimously agreed that there is not enough in the town. There are not currently any plans for state-funded housing in the works, but Cascadians can rest easy knowing that there are conversations being had about the issue.

The meeting was set aside momentarily when a man had fallen down stepping onto the sidewalk outside the Senior and Community Center. He was helped up by several of the attendees, including some of the candidates, and brought inside to warm up.
