$#%*&! A not-so-funny thing happened on the way to the Forum
I just broke news media rule number 1 -- never tease something unless you're absolutely sure you can deliver.
Tonight I was looking forward to meeting many of you at the candidates' forum at Town Hall, but I never got there. The severe weather threats in the area (and my real job in covering them) precluded my being at the forum. I'm really bummed, but here's what I want to do.
1) Your comments are especially important now. If you saw the forum, please take a moment and post a comment. Click the link at the bottom of this post. Which candidate did better answering the questions? What were the best points made? Any witty one-liners or awkward moments? Post away!
2) Did this forum get videotaped? Will it run on FMTV? I checked the FMTV schedule, but didn't see the forum listed there. If anyone has a videotape of tonight's forum that they would let me borrow, send me an e-mail at chip (at) smartbusy.tv. If I can borrow your tape for an evening of viewing, I'd post my thoughts on the site. I'll be happy to arrange pickup and delivery.
Sorry again that I missed you all. Please post a comment!

You can request a copy of the tape from the Town Secretary, 972-874-6000. I was a little disappointed at the turnout and wish the event had been posted on the Town website. I am also concerned about it not being on the FMTV schedule.
Sorry you missed it. I was looking forward to meeting you. Maybe you can make it to Alforno's next Tuesday.

MR.Lang claimed to have permission for all of his signs around town, however MRS Long caught him red handed. Laurie had a recorded message telling her that Mr. Lang was asked not to put his signs on this citizens properity and Mr. Lang chose to put them up anyway. MR.Lang also has signs in the TX DOT right-of-way. I would think a candidate,especially a lawyer,would know better!
I'm sure The News Connection could provide a podcast of the entire forum. Just give me a little bit to get it uploaded and it'll be on our blog.
Okay, here is the podcast. Just put this link into your address bar and listen to what the candidates had to say ...

The audio is about an hour and 15 minutes long.
