It would have been a newsworthy inclusion in this piece to state why Mary Horman was not in attendance: two of the people promoting this event, effectively serving as significant faces of this event, were a couple the Horman's have had to procure a police protective order against due to their incessant harassment of the Hormans. It would have been like walking into a hornet's nest for Mary to have agreed to attend. Better to get trustworthy faces promoting an event than to ask candidates to join in a forum where they would immediately hold suspect, the promoters' motives.
Mary told me about her accusations of harassment and her claim that she has a "police protective order" against her neighbors. There is no record of a protection order or of any complaint filed in City Court, Justice Court or District Court involving the parties. I have found no one involved in the justice system that has heard of a "police protection order". Because Mary told me that in an unrecorded phone conversation and I found no evidence to support her claims, I did not include the information.

Was Kim Gillan there?
She was out of town, but told me she looks forward to the forum for the general election.
Thank you for the information.
