Candidates Forum Open Thread

If you attended Wednesday’s candidate’s forum put on by RestoreUS.org for County Exec, County Council 5, and Board of Ed candidates use this as an open thread to discuss your thoughts on it and the candidates. I arrived a little late since I was coming from the Downtown Columbia Focus Group meeting, but from what I saw I was impressed by the great job Barry and the rest of the organizers did and interesting questions. I will probably post the rest of my thoughts (including my take on the candidates) Thursday night, but I want to hear your take first.
