This was a really interesting forum.... There was a panel of 5 expert advisors that informed the candidates. It was very diferent to hear the candidates ask the questions, and to get an idea of what their concerns were.... unfortunately 4 of the candidates did not show, even though they had confirmed (at least one had responded that they were ill, and unable to make it)
There was a large crowd (by Hawaii County standards) there, and there was a little time for audience questions... very interesting all around.. and the most different forum I have been to.
There were to council members there that expressed an interest in having this type of forum for the council candidates too....
This is also a very good template for other groups that would like to look at how to present current & future County concerns to candidates.
