I missed it, as promised. My wife attended and took notes for me. Her impression of the mayoral candidates was even less positive than mine. She said Dan Corbin gave the most thoughtful answers, but seemed to have the most conflicts of interest. Not a bad analysis for a rookie, in my opinion. She thought Trujillo and Carter looked pretty good for the school board race; and that Joanne Purser put her foot in her mouth.
The first two candidate forums have strengthened my belief that this is an important election. If you think that good people will be elected whatever you do, you're wrong. There are candidates for almost all positions, but especially for mayor and council-at-large, who ought to scare you. There's one more forum this week: the candidates for Killeen City Council will be interviewed on Friday at 1800 (my wife said it started at 1830 tonight, so my information may be bad) at the Civic center at W.S. Young and Veterans Memorial. I'll be there or not, depending on how it goes at work. If you go and take notes, send them to me (bblair48@yahoo.com). Otherwise I'll depend on Dan Kott's videos on the YouTube EyesOfKilleen channel.
My posts may be perfunctory for a while. There's a sprint to a deadline at work, and I'll be travelling on business soon.
