In the category of "Inquiring Minds Want to Know," A Berry Picker ponders: "Don't have a dog in the fight in the Hayden city elections but it seems as if the incumbent mayor Ron McIntire and his son in law making themselves unavailable for multiple date options for a candidate forum could be a political strategy. The forum gets canceled and then their opponents don't have the opportunity to present themselves to the public. I wonder why they don't just hold a Hayden forum with whichever of the candidates for the one council seat and mayor choose to attend?"

Question: Do you think Hayden Mayor Ron McIntire and his son-in-law, Chris LaMarr, who's running for a City Council seat, intentionally skipped the televised CDATV broadcasts in order to prevent their challengers from gaining exposure? Should the broadcasts have gone on without them?
