What's The Issue?

There's a three-person race for selectman in Chatham. The May 17 election is a month away. So far there has been little said about the race, which pits two incumbents, David Whitcomb and Ron Bergstrom, against challenger Leonard Sussman.

During the next few weeks, there will be profiles published and at least one debate, scheduled for May 2 at the Eldredge Public Library. Which issues will come to the fore? Is the town running smoothly, or is there room for improvement? Is the current board too soft on development? Should selectmen push harder for zoning revisions? Did the board bungle the zoning bylaw rewrite?

What do you think should be an issue in this race? What question would you like to ask the candidates?

Post your answers here. We'll link this to The Chronicle's website and try to get a discussion going.
