President of Council Candidates' Forum, Thursday, October 24
A Few Notes
Mr. Sammarone failed to show up.
The media didn't show up either.
One candidate paced back and forth too much.
One candidate's responses to questions consistently went over the allotted time.
This was actually a good forum. All of the questions came from the audience. All were very good questions in my opinion.
Yes, I thought it was a very good forum, too. Lots of good questions from the audience. I also thought there were many good answers and ideas although one candidate's answers at times were quite long.
I thought it gave them both a chance to really answer important questions.
Regarding Sammarone: doesn't he realize that he is reinforcing the stereotype of the "arrogant politician" when he doesn't show up? Unbelievable.
I understand that the media did not show up at the first evening Mahoning County Land Bank meeting either.-
