A Teaser from the Exchange Club/KDH Forum

It's too late and I have too many notes to write anything substantial tonight about the Exchange Club/KDH candidate forum.  Here are a few fun facts:

• There were a lot of candidates there.  Of the 26 candidates, only Wayne Gilmore (district 1 council candidate) was absent.  Even though none got to speak long, the forum still went almost 3.5 hours,
• There were a lot of people in the audience.  I didn't get a count, but I'm guessing it was over 300.  That's unheard of .  I wish they'd got their money's worth
• Predictably, there was more talking than thinking.  One example:  the mayoral candidates were asked how they would reduce the debt.  Not a one of them said "Uh, we're not going to reduce the debt; Killeen's growing fast, and we'll be accumulating debt for some time to finance new infrastructure."  I'll publish the actual answers later from my notes, but trust me, they were wrong.
