Mayoral Forum Brings a Little Heat

The mayoral forum at Oglethorpe University's Lupton Hall brought a little more heat than the past mayoral debates.

The three candidates– Larry Danese, J. Max Davis and Sandy Murray- hoping to earn enough votes to become Brookhaven's first mayor took the stage again to answer questions from residents in another mayoral forum.

The forum was hosted by the Brookhaven Reporter at Oglethorpe University's Lupton Hall on Monday evening.

The format of the forum was just like the last mayoral forum hosted by the Ashford Park Civic Association and the Drew Valley Civic Association. Audience members could ask questions and the candidates took turns answering them.

Throughout the last forum, however, the candidates would often agree with each other. This time, the candidates took a little more time to make sure Brookhaven residents could see them as three distinct characters, even if that meant playing a little hardball that wasn't played in the last forum.

Video of the full forum will be posted here later today. The video attached was created by Brookhaven Reporter reporter Dan Whisenhunt.
