Camera needed to be adjusted to show people's faces when they stood up, instead of their torsos.

I believe the moderator should have allowed (as I've seen allowed in the Presidential debates) for anyone to have a chance to respond briefly when they have been personally criticized. Marques Dent stated that Ryan Dorsey's family business had never employed a person of color; Ryan Dorsey interjected that Dent's statement was false, but he didn't have a chance to respond to Dent. I would have liked to hear Dorsey's response.

+Barbara Larcom Wow! As I continue to watch this forum, I hear two other candidates pile on Dorsey, also without his having a chance to respond. This time the criticism was that he promised to be a full-time councilman if elected. Both Jermaine Jones and Alicia Joynes implied that Dorsey's mother would be supporting him. News flash: the city council position pays a living wage! Sheesh. I just looked it up - a city councilperson earns $66,000. Think most people in Baltimore wouldn't be happy to earn that much? But not Jones or Joynes, who say they can't afford to be a full-time councilperson.

+Barbara Larcom MORE piling on Dorsey, this time from George Van Hook, who claimed that Dorsey "has never really had a work history." Dorsey exclaimed, "What!" but otherwise had no chance to respond. This process is objectionable. Addition: At Dorsey's next opportunity to speak, he pointed out that city councilpersons make much more than most Baltimoreans, and he's glad to live on it.

Dent dominated this debate. Dorsey is not the favorite he is the richest. Dorsey I am sure is a good man, but can he truly relate to the people of his district. What are his struggles? What has he overcome. This is a two person race between Dent and Dorsey and based on this debate Dent should be the winner.
