Here’s the press release, sent out by the Business Council of Fairfield County, on their February 26 gubernatorial forum in Stamford.
With ten candidates and only about an hour and a half, there is potential for a forum filled with the same old superficial answers and sound bytes.
Technically each has the microphone for a total of less than nine minutes (90 divided by 10 minus time for the moderator to speak).
The Business Council is smartly focusing on one topic – job creation – so that might allow for some interesting insights and exchanges.

Business Council of Fairfield County to host Gubernatorial Candidates Forum in Stamford February 26
Stamford, Connecticut; February 4, 2010 – The Business Council of Fairfield County will be hosting a Gubernatorial Candidates Forum on Friday, February 26 at the Holiday Inn in downtown Stamford.
Registration will begin at 7:45am and the program will run from 8:00-9:30am.
The sheer number of candidates running for Governor is noteworthy. But voters vote on the issues – and this year there is only 1 issue – jobs. This forum will provide a unique opportunity to hear the candidates’ strategy for jobs and the economy in Connecticut.
Included on the dais to date are: Mark Boughton, Larry DeNardis, Michael Fedele, Juan Figueroa, Thomas Foley, Mary Glassman, Oz Griebel, Ned Lamont, Dan Malloy and Rudy Marconi.
Registration is $25 for members and non-members. Reservations and further information may be obtained by contacting The Business Council at 203-359-3220 or online at www.businessfairfield.com.
