When life interferes with politics...

I'm skipping the  NAACP/LULAC mayoral candidate forum tomorrow night.  The reason is that I have revenue-producing work to do for my company that will prevent me from attending.

I'm not as concerned about it as I might have been before Monday's KDH/Exchange Club Forum, though.  At that event, three of the mayoral candidates -- Estrada, Butchart and Workman -- disqualified themselves by their failure to coherently answer even the softball questions.  Workman I know is an intelligent man, but you would never suspect it to hear him speak in public.  Butchart is (I'm sorry to say it) a blowhard.  Estrada was the biggest disappointment to me because I thought he might act a "senior councillor" role; but his nonsense about a secret plan to cut the budget by 20% -- which he'll only announce after he's elected -- put and end to that hope.

So what's left is Nellis and Corbin, both of whom have some strengths and weaknesses which will be the subject of a future post.

If anyone attends the NAACP/LULAC event (or attended last night's) and sees (saw) something different, please leave a comment here.
