There are three good reasons you should be at the Killeen Civic and Conference Center, 3601 south W.S. Young, tomorrow (April 9) at 1800. That's where the Exchange Club and the Daily Herald will sponsor the first big candidate forum of 2012.
First, it's going to be the most entertaining event you've attended since last year's wild town meeting. You'll see candidates put feet in their mouths and be unable to remove them; you'll hear people you don't know much about make some reasonable-sounding proposals; there will be arguments and, if we're lucky, no fights or forced ejections. You would pay good money for this much entertainment, and it's free.
Second, the moderator (a local newspaper editor) will ask the candidates questions you want to know their answers to. A list of questions already collected is on the front page of the Sunday paper. You can still suggest a question by showing up early and filling in a card.
Third, the moderator will not ask the candidates questions you want to know their answers to. But the candidates will all be there and you'll have a chance to ask at least some of those questions face-to-face.
There are a couple of dozen more good reasons for you to be there, but these should be enough.
