Dahl told the audience that Floyd would have been present if he did not have important business to conduct. Floyd is a security and federal contract consultant.
"She's a pistol," Dahl said after the forum as he watched Fishback speak with a television reporter.
He was not the only one to elicit groans from the audience.
Ficker, a Boyds lawyer who has run for several local and state offices on an anti-tax platform, was admonished for using much of his opening statement to criticize Leggett. He accused Leggett of doing little to end traffic congestion during his 16 years on the council, taking money from real estate developers and wanting to raise taxes.
"I've got great problems with negative electioneering, negative statements to get votes," Fishback said. ". . . This is not helping you. This is hurting you. We're not stupid."
Several audience members nodded their heads in agreement.
Ficker responded by saying that property taxes will become unaffordable for senior citizens under Leggett -- a charge Leggett denied.
"Is that negative campaigning? No, that's pointing out the facts," Ficker told the audience. "I'm looking out for your pocketbooks."
"You did it again," another woman in the audience said.
