ATC '07 election inadequacies

i already have some qualms about the way this year's altadena town council general election is being conducted:
at the april 17 ATC meeting, it was announced that the candidate applications are available at the library, the community center, and on the ATC website. there is NOTHING on our website even now about our election, despite the fact that we have a new, $50-a-month paid webmaster. there are no downloadable applications on the site and no information at all about the election (not to mention the lack of updated agendas, minutes, and meeting info).
i went to the library to pick up my application, and they are not displayed at all, let alone displayed prominently. i had to ask the staff for one, and no disrespect against them, but it took them 15 minutes to locate the apps. how is that community availability?
how is the community (and PUSD and the city of pasadena and the star-news and the county, etc etc etc) supposed to take us seriously if the Dena community doesn't even have time to consider participating or doesn't even know an election is taking place?
i want the town council to be legit and have more power and influence. otherwise what's the point?
check out this week's Pasadena Weekly, in the Upfront section next to the City Beat section, for my brief about the election filing deadline:
