I'll leave Mr. Sherer out of this discussion -- his four years on the
DC Commission and his support or non-support of various issues, from getting the Events Center built and giving endless money to Global Entertainment for doing nothing, to enforcement of driving laws and rules, et al. are public record. He liked everyone.
Monte: Smart CPA in private agri related business; probably more critical of numbers and review of spending than others. Quiet. Wife works for Chamber which might be an issue. Seems he would demand better follow-up to mass amounts of money given groups, such as Boot Hill Museum, etc. and audits of same.
Dorothy: Long serving county employee, knows area, has critical view of immigrant issues, would probably be a good replacement for better aspects of Mr. Lee. Well read on issues.
Brian: Bright, well-spoken and very well informed. Was most clear on tax issues. Does wear religion to much for my taste, but sincere. Question on the consulting fee received from Mr. Huelskamp was not asked. Probably, in the end, would be subject to established political pressures since he wants a future in Republican politics.
Weakness of the forum was the moderator only asking certain questions and the audience not being allowed follow-up questions. Audience was limited to one written question passed to moderator. Hard to believe that there were NO questions asked about illegals issues, etc
. [Correction added: Mike B. is right -- sorry, answers were so short I forgot it was asked. Mike B.'s statements are correct.] Not a debate.
