As I often say, to the agony of everyone else: forum, or against ‘em, you be the judge.

The Chattanooga Times Free Press reports that it is co-sponsoring with the Chattanooga Bar Association a forum featuring the candidates running in the August 2 election for General Sessions Court, Division 5. The candidates are:

• Joe DeGaetano
• Valerie Epstein
• Yolanda Mitchell
• David Norton (currently serving as interim judge)
• Ron Powers
• Gary Starnes
• Patricia Best Vital

UPDATE: You can see much more about each candidate in this voter guide.
