" I agree with that. I am not sure I want Forby representing our area any longer but I would have liked to see the two of them in a real debate. Unfortunately the other candidate has a few persons surrounding him that I consider truly EVIL. This weekend is going to be a true cramming session. "

" Those of us in the 59th State Senate District have a real opportunity for change this election. How about if we give Ken Burzynski a chance to show that he can do a better job with the high unemployment rate in Franklin County and do his best to bring it down. Forby has had 8 years and the rate has done nothing but go up, except for his own family. "
