Sometimes you add by subtracting.
Last week’s Tiger Bay Club of Tampa luncheon was a good example. It was a forum for county commission candidates to subject themselves to some Q&A scrutiny. But with more than a dozen candidates accepting invitations (and, no, Ken Hagan was not among them) it was just too many. Better to divide up the districts into two separate events. More questions. Perhaps a follow-up. Answers with some semblance of detail. Otherwise, you get boilerplate and platitudes. And those not adept at 30-second sound bites are not going to fare well. They didn’t.
