Just had the opportunity to view these. Great job, great questions. We could clearly see the difference between all the candidates. Will you be doing more of these for all the contested races in the general election?

If after watching these forums anyone can honestly say they think Sisitsky is what this city needs they were not paying attention.

When I saw Charlie was promoting his campaign on the Source, that helped me make a decision about who to vote for. If he does not think the lies and misstatement and attacks the Source did on Ms. Deeley are a problem then he is not the man I want leading our city. Honesty is the most critical quality I am looking for. By supporting a dishonest excuse for a news organization Charlie shows his true colors, and they are not the colors I want leading my city.

Interesting comment by the previous poster. Had not thought about what it say about Charlie to support a dishonest and biased pretend news organization. I was on the fence about who to vote for, but now I know it won't be Charlie.

The best part of the mayoral forum was when the moderator pointed out that Sudbury had not completed the Rail Trail either. Charlie was saying it was a failure on the Mayor's part, when in reality many other communities are in the same position we are. Thank you to LWV moderators who speak the truth when they hear inaccurate information being spewed by candidates. Sure blew up in Charlie,s face, and he was not even man enough to admit his mistake.

Yes, very good forum. I know some like Framingham Unfilthy wanted us to believe it was going to be biased and unfair, but it was as legit as it could be. Very fair questions. And go figure, CS commits a huge gaffe (the rail trail comment). He self-owned on that one, then tried to backpedal. He can't blame that on the question or the moderator.

I think it is clear after viewing these that the race is between just 2 candidates. The third is not at all well informed, in my humble opinion

Just took a few days off to hit the beach.

Stephanie and I appreciate all the kind words about the forums.
We will start back up in October.

That was Kodak moment when Nancy fact checked Charlie about the Bruce Freeman Trail.
I must admit, I thought it was already at our doorstep.

A question for you Jim. Is there any way to know how each district voted in the lady mayoral election? My goal being that is a disrict vat d for the mayor I think I he councilor should respect the will of the voters in their district and support the mayor also? Make sense?

I believe the Mayor won every district years ago. The thought is a good one. Having the Spicer haters respect that vote may be gone.
