Maitland Council candidates ready for debate

With less than two weeks until the election, candidates for Maitland’s single open city council seat will get the chance to debate the issues and take public questions at a Maitland Chamber of Commerce-sponsored Meet the Candidates night on Thursday, Feb. 27.

Former city councilwoman Bev Reponen will face off against community activist Martha Bryant-Hall to talk all things Maitland at the Sheraton Orlando North Hotel starting at 6:40 p.m.

Both women are in the running to replace Councilwoman Linda Frosch in seat two in the March 11 election, as Frosch terms out after serving six years on Council.

From downtown development to traffic patterns, and taxes to cultural preservation, Reponen and Bryant-Hall will have a chance to state their stances on Maitland’s top political topics.

The winner of the election on March 11 will earn a three-year term starting in April.
