    Joe Krysztoforski on the republican side and Ron Little
    on the democrat side were the only two candidates answering the questions
    asked. The other, especially Ficker side stepped the questions. This is the
    second debate I attended for both parties and the results are the same. Little
    and Krysztoforski are answering the questions others nothing but rhetoric.
