The main room at The Beach Club was filled to capacity with standing room only. It was a really great debate, probably the best I have ever attended for a neighborhood association. All the candidates were effective and even some who did not fare so well at the Playhouse debate did extremely well last night. I enjoyed them all. They each answered the same questions with no rebuttals. It went smoothly and efficiently.
So now we all have to decide in just three weeks who will make the best commissioner in District 1 and District 4. Besides the candidates, the important decisions on the ballot are two amendments: change the name of our city and sell off 501 Lake Avenue, our old Chamber of Commerce building.
So, if you are against these two amendments and believe as I do that changing the name of our city that has been in existence for 106 years would be a travesty of the first order and selling off our beautiful historic building downtown is a bad decision brought forward by the city, there is only one candidate that fits the bill--Richard Guercio.
Omari, Cathy, Richard, Tom, Herman

Had to mention that there was one employee of the restaurant who was rude and even used the word "shit." He was ticked off at having to set up the tables I guess. We had to move twice while he figured it out. I think he's a manager of sorts. Unreal. Other than him, it was a perfect night.
You are right. All of them were good. Not sure who out shown the other.
I missed this debate. When is the next one?
It really was an excellent debate. I only wish that some of the candidates smiled more. You know who you are.
