Candidates Rate the Importance of Oceanside Beautification [Video Clips]

Thursday’s rain caused Sunset Market to be cancelled and MainStreet Oceanside’s “Candidate Night” was postponed to next week.

So for those who were dead-set on getting their local political fix for the week, Patch put together a collection of responses candidates gave Sept. 28 when they were asked to say, on a scale of 1 to 10, what importance they would give to downtown and Coast Highway beautification to help tourism.

Of the eight candidates who gave a number, the average was a 7.3. (I counted Jack Feller’s answer as a 7.5 and, no, I didn’t count David Zernik’s secondary answer of 100.)

What number would you have given? Tell us in the comments.

• Jim Wood, candidate for Oceanside Mayor (no number given).
• Jerry Kern, candidate for Oceanside Mayor (no number given).
• Terry Johnson, candidate for Oceanside Mayor (5).
• Esther Sanchez, candidate for Oceanside City Council (10).
• Jack Feller, candidate for Oceanside City Council (7 or 8).
• Dana Corso, candidate for Oceanside City Council (7).
• Chip Dykes, candidate for Oceanside City Council (7).
• David Zernik, candidate for Oceanside City Council (10).
